There will be a Democrat primary on June 25th in the 109th Assembly District<\/a> and the Altamont Enterprise<\/a> has a breakdown of the candidates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of note in the story is this nugget:<\/p>\n

“… [Dustin Reidy<\/a>] said he had built coalitions in the county legislature and was proud that the gun legislation he authored, called DISCOVER, for Detailed Instruction Supporting Community Violence Education and Reduction<\/a>, had bipartisan support. \u201cEveryone supported it,\u201d he said …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That legislation prohibits lawful carry on county property.<\/p>\n

In addition, according to his campaign website, “As a County Legislator, Dustin was endorsed by Moms Demand Action<\/a> because he authored and passed three important pieces of legislation on the issue.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

Another county legislator, Andrew Joyce<\/a>, is also running in the primary and he supported DISCOVER<\/a>, although he does not mention gun control on his website.<\/p>\n

The district has a more than 5 to 1 Democrat enrollment advantage so whomever wins the primary will likely coast through the November general election.\u00a0 Sitting out the primary is not an option.\u00a0 I consider Reidy to be the worst of the bunch so victory shall be defined as him losing.\u00a0 If both Reidy and Joyce lose that shall be defined as a big victory.<\/p>\n

Vote accordingly on the 25th.<\/p>\n
