| After striking out at least half a dozen times trying to find a credible challenger for Freshman Rep. John Hall, the GOoPs appear to have at least someone other than Kieran Michael Lalor willing to take the plunge, Westchester County Legislator George Oros.
Oros to enter race against Hall
Rep. John Hall has gained another Republican opponent: Westchester Legislator George Oros.
Oros, a Cortlandt Republican, said today that he intends to enter the race against Hall and will file paperwork formally establishing his candidacy sometime within the next two weeks.
"I think I have electability," Oros told Politics on the Hudson just after today's Board of Legislators' meeting in White Plains. "I've been out there. I'm proven."
Oros, who joined the legislature in 1995, has been considering a possible candidacy for almost two months. He joins Iraq War veteran Kieran Michael Lalor of Peekskill as the only two announced GOP candidates in the 19th Congressional District.
Pardon me for thinking like a Republican, but George Oros sounds suspiciously like "George Soros," the scourge of all things good, holy and wholesomely American. I wonder how many GOoPs in the 19th will mistake them for each other.
Seriously. |
