Assemblyman Sean Hanna, R-Mendon, Monroe County, is out today with his first ad of the campaign to fill an open Senate seat in Monroe and Ontario counties that will be one of the most competitive races in the state.
Hanna and Monroe County Legislator Ted O’Brien are vying to succeed Sen. James Alesi, R-Perinton, Monroe County, who is not seeking re-election.
