The special election in NY-26 is two weeks from today, and is shaping up to be another national race in New York state.
As with NY-20 and NY-23, Republicans have held this western NY seat for decades. In the wake of Chris Lee's disgraceful resignation, the race among Republican Jane Corwin, Democrat Kathy Hochul and tea party self-funder Jack Davis is too close to call.
John Boehner knows this race is close, that's why he visited the district yesterday.
Karl Rove knows this race is close, that's why his shady PAC is spending $650K to try to save the lackluster Corwin.
You can help win this race, and send a message to the radical Republicans to stop their attacks on Medicare and Social Security.
You can give money here.
You can drive out to the Rochester suburbs for some canvassing.
You can phone bank from the comfort of your home, email Blake@KathyHochul.com for info.
This is a winnable race, but turnout will be key. And turnout depends on voter contacts.
Please do something to help Hochul contact voters.
As of last night, this race is even MORE winnable. Jane Corwin sent her thugs to provoke Tea Party Candidate Jack Davis in order to get video of him "assaulting a photographer."

It looks like it is backfiring and Corwin is losing even more support from the right.
Democrats from all over the country need to help Kathy Hochul win this one.
It will send a clear message to the GOP that we have had enough of them and their dirty campaign tricks.
