Fingers to the wind: off-year elections in NY, NJ, VA
Tomorrow will bring three off-year elections that have garnered national attention: New Jersey and Virginia will elect governors, and a special election ? which grew more special over the weekend as the Republican candidate suspended her campaign and endorsed her Democratic opponent ? is scheduled for New York’s 23rd Congressional District. For more on the New York race we turn to Brian Mann, reporter for North Country Public Radio. WNYC reporter Bob Hennelly has been covering the New Jersey governor’s race. And Washington Post columnist Robert McCartney is watching the Virginia governor’s race.
