The Republican County Committee is holding candidate interviews tonight, where if you can believe former candidate GOP chairman John Friscia, Lisa Giovinazzo is the front runner for their endorsement. Lisa Giovinazzo as he tells us, because I had no clue is an NY1 reporter. She is also known for losing to McMahon previously when she ran against him in 2003 for his City Council seat. As a third/fourth/fifth tier candidate I am sure everyone is familiar with her, but if not here is her 2003 candidate bio.
This seems to be a good indication that State Senator Andrew Lanza is all but out of the race.
update:
State Senate Lanza officially withdraws.
if it’s McMahon vs Giovinazzo I’d say the result will be similar to what happened in 03.
Lisa ran about 2,700 votes behind Dan Donovan in her dostrict in Donovan’s first election (53% to 47% overall)as county attorney.
Considering that it’s a small area, I’d say she is empirically a bad candidate. Hope so, anyway.
Will this likely happen again at the congressional level?
