Bad sign for Senate Republicans

Senate Republicans have a reason for concern:
“One Republican and three Democratic candidates for the State Senate and Assembly from the Hudson Valley did not meet the deadline for filing financial disclosures, according to a report issued by the Joint Commission on Public Ethics … Republican 39th Senate District candidate Thomas Basile’s form was delivered to staff in Albany earlier this week, according to his campaign spokesman Robert Driscoll, who said Basile’s opponent, Democrat James Skoufis, is “so desperate to get voters to forget that New York’s most corrupt politician bankrolled him for years, he’ll take any occasion to smear Mr. Basile.” But, Skoufis said Basile’s submitting the form “yesterday” still made the filing 24 days late …”
Skoufis is right.
SD-39 is an open seat that now has a roughly 15K Democrat enrollment advantage. That the Republicans don’t have their stuff together at the point is not a good sign for them.
