Paging Gene Rayburn: 21st CD

Five announced (or soon to be announced) Dem candidates in the 21st CD race.  If we get one more, the Dems can play The Match Game rather than having debates.

It's still very early in this process.  My intention here was (once again) to post links to the candidates' web sites so that you check things out for yourself.  However, there isn't much to see on the sites for Freeman, Shahinfar, and Mittleman.  (Mittleman doesn't officially announce until tomorrow.)

But, for the sake of creating a placeholder here at DIA, here are the sites.  Judge for yourself.

Tracey Brooks

Lester Freeman

Gary Mittleman

Darius Shahinfar

Phil Steck

There they are.  Watch those spaces for updates.  If and when the candidates have more substance on their sites, I'll look through them and try to summarize their positions on issues.

Apparently, there may be a sacrificial Republican in the race.  Schenectady County Legislator Jim Buhrmaster is considering a run.

(Disclosure: Tracey Brooks is an old friend of mine.  Please note that this does not mean I am endorsing her, or even that I am voting for her.  If that changes, I'll disclose that too.)

Also, I'll draw your attention to a reply I just posted to the Feb 20 DIA front-page "Be Careful" regarding some questions regarding Tracey Brooks.

Thanks again for compiling the candidate websites!
