Schimel v. Schimel

A cage match would seem more appropriate:

“The War of the Roses is erupting on Long Island, where a Nassau County man is set to challenge his estranged wife for state Assembly.  Mark Schimel has been given the Nassau County GOP nomination to seek the Great Neck seat that currently belongs to his estranged wife — Democrat Michelle Schimel …”

I was hoping they’d put up a decent candidate to run against her as she is prime sponsor of microstamping and most of the antigun crap in the Assembly.

“… Frank Moroney, the North Hempstead town GOP chairman, admitted there were concerns the race could degenerate into a bitter, personal battle, but insisted the GOP leaders urged him several times to keep it classy.  “One of the things we made clear is we want this to be a very dignified, issue-oriented campaign,” Moroney said …”

Not likely.  While it may have some entertainment value I seriously doubt she’s going to be challenged on her positions, especially gun control.
