BUFFALO, N.Y. — When it comes to the future of the 27th Congressional District, it looks like Governor Cuomo is leaning more toward a special election in April.
A lot of people are pointing to April 28, which is New York's presidential primary, which is expected to have a strong democratic turn-out.
On WBFO-radio on Wednesday afternoon, Governor Cuomo said Western New York deserves this representation.
"I'd like to fill it as soon as possible. I can't do it in this November. April is under consideration, but we're looking at a number of options now. But ideally as soon as we can replace that seat so that Western New York has a full team," Cuomo said.
As for possible replacements for Collins, there are a handful of Republicans and Democrats running for the seat, with more expected to join.
