Working Families Party May Repeat Albany County Election Victory

In November 2004, the Working Families Party candidate for Albany County legislator, district 2, won the general election, even though she was running only on the WFP line. That nominee was Lucille McKnight. She had also sought the Democratic nomination, but had lost the Democratic primary.

At the New York primary on September 18, 2007, Lucille McKnight (now an incumbent) again sought the Democratic Party nomination, but she appears to have lost by 4 votes to Lester Freeman. However, in November, McKnight is again running as the Working Families nominee, so it is possible that she will again win the general election solely on the WFP line.
