Incumbent Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente will be in a three-way Republican primary next Tuesday with David Gordon and Michael Hennessy.
As to where the candidates stand on 2A:
- Picente has supported gun control in the past.
- Gordon is making a strong push for gun rights supporters to back him in the primary, promising changes as to how the county issues pistol licenses and making Oneida a “sanctuary county.”
- Based upon an old candidate questionnaire from his attempted Assembly run in ’14, Hennessy supports gun rights.
When in doubt, vote the incumbent out. With low turnout gun owners have an opportunity to push Picente off the cliff.
