Mejias to take on Hannon?
Democratic Nassau Legis. David Mejias changed his voter's registration address on Oct. 26 from North Massapequa to Farmingdale, sparking speculation he will run against State Sen. Kemp Hannon next year.
While his new address keeps Mejias in the same county legislative district, it puts him in the same senatorial district as the veteran Republican lawmaker from Garden City. The state Constitution requires anybody who runs for state senate to be a resident of the district for at least 12 months immediately preceding the election.
Mejias, who faces a challenge for re-election from Republican Joseph Belesi tomorrow, insists his reasons for moving were simple - he wanted a swimming pool and garage. His new house has both.
Mejias may now have a garage and a pool, but he could also have a real shot at Hannon next year. That would certainly be a race to watch.
