Former Republican state Sen. Nick Spano was in Albany today for a fundraiser for Sen. Hugh Farley and was asked about whether he will run for the Senate again this year against incumbent Democratic Sen. Andrea Stewart-Cousins.
No decision yet, Spano said, but “I think about it every day of my life about returning to the Senate.”
Spano said the outcome of tomorrow’s special election in the 48th Senate District in the North Country won’t influence his decision, and he said the presidential race without Rudy Giuliani as the GOP nominee wouldn’t affect his ability to run a strong race—that’s if he runs, of course.
“It has to be the right decision, and it has to fit into my life, into my family life and I have to make sure the support is there in Westchester to do this. And that’s what we’re evaluating,” he said.
