Steck considering judicial run

According to the Times-Union, Assemblyman Phil Steck is considering running for state Supreme Court this fall:

“… Assemblyman Phil Steck of Colonie is among the candidates being discussed in Democratic circles as a possible selection at the party’s nomination convention later this summer. Albany County Democratic Committee members say Steck has shown interest in a state judgeship. Steck declined to comment when asked if he was interested in a spot on the bench. Steck’s seat was a major concern for Assembly Democrats this past election cycle as the Democratic Assembly Campaign Committee spent more than $363,000 to boost his campaign, the most it spent on any candidate in the state …”

Steck is one of the worst antigunners in Albany.  We don’t need him on the court.  If he runs and looses he keeps his Assembly seat, but that is better than having him on the court.
