Congressman Hanna, Earlville’s Kicinski vie for GOP nomination in primary Tuesday
NORWICH - The Chenango County Board of Election anticipates a quiet election Tuesday for the June 26 federal primary.
Of 17 statewide elections, the only local action is in the 22nd District, where U.S. Congressman Richard L. Hanna, of Barneveld, and Michael J. Kicinski, Sr., of Earlville, vie for the GOP nomination. The 22nd encompasses Chenango, Cortland, Madison, Oneida, and parts of Broome, Herkimer, Oswego and Tioga counties.
The Chenango County Republican Committee unanimously endorsed Congressman Hanna in April. Hanna is also backed by the Independence Party of New York State, which previously endorsed him in his 2008 and 2010 bids in the 24th District, before redistricting.
Hanna successfully operated the construction company Hanna Construction for nearly 30 years, growing to employ more than 450 people at one time. Increasingly frustrated with the high taxes his business was paying, he decided to run for office. Rep. Hanna received the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Spirit of Enterprise Award in recognition of his voting record in the House. In his two years in office, the Congressman has compiled a moderate voting record for a Republican. Progressive Punch ranks him the 205th most progressive representative based on critical votes, which places him to the left of all but 14 Republicans. He serves on three House committees: Education and the Workforce, Small Business, and Transportation and Infrastructure.
“Supporting small businesses, working to help rebuild upstate New York’s economy and therefore putting people back to work has been a hallmark of my time in office,” he said during a campaign stop in Norwich in the spring.
Michael Kicinski, an electronics engineer, has said he is running for Congress to turn things around and to relieve citizens of overburdening taxes and regulations. He is endorsed by Carl Paladino, Doug Hoffman, New York State Right to Life, and New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms. He said he and his wife and children plan to vote around 12:30 p.m. at the Village of Earlville Village Hall, located at 8 North Main Street, Earlville.
Retiring U.S. Rep. Maurice Hinchey endorsed his staffer and fellow Democrat Dan Lamb, who will face the winner of next week’s 22nd District primary in the general election in November.
The buzz in politics locally has been about the Sept. 13 primary to select a Republican candidate for Chenango County judge.
An election to watch next week is the three-way primary for the GOP nomination to challenge U.S. Sen. Kristen Gillibrand in the fall. Rep. Bob Turner of Queens, who entered the race just this week, forced a primary against Manhattan lawyer Wendy Long and Nassau County Comptroller George Maragos.
