Now that George Latimer<\/a> has won the Westchester County Executive’s race<\/a>, he must give up his seat in the Senate<\/a>.\u00a0 That means a special election.<\/p>\n

To the surprise of no one, the Spano name has come up<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… Add Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano’s<\/a> name to the list of Democrats considering a run for George Latimer’s soon-to-be-vacant state Senate seat. Spano confirmed Monday he has spoken to party leaders<\/a> about a potential run for the state Legislature, where he served in the Assembly<\/a> for nearly 20 years … Spano, meanwhile, has two years left in his second term as mayor. Yonkers\u00a0has term limits that prevent him from seeking a third term in 2019 …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As a general rule, whenever a Spano is on the ballot in Westchester, residents should reflexively vote for whomever their opponent is no matter who they are.\u00a0 Mike is no exception.\u00a0 Plus with Mike, you get Nick<\/a> and nobody wants that.\u00a0 He was an antigun Republican in the Assembly and switched to Democrat to become Mayor.\u00a0 I’ve suspected for sometime he would make a run for county office, but with Astorino on the way out, he needs to find another gig.\u00a0 Hopefully someone better jump in.<\/p>\n
