New York holds a special election on May 24, to fill the vacant U.S. House seat, 26th district. Roll Call reports here that the Green Party nominee is likely to be Ian Murphy, who is somewhat famous for impersonating David Koch on a phone call to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. And Jack Davis, formerly a Democratic nominee for U.S. House in this district, and a multi-millionaire, apparently plans to petition onto the ballot under the Tea Party label. Thanks to Political Wire for the link.
I appreciate what Ian Murphy did regarding David Koch, but I am disappointed to see someone running who called his party a “loser party”.
