North Country Republican State Senator Dan Steck would like to
be considered for New York's 21st Congressional District once there
becomes a vacancy.
The seat currently held by Elise Stefanik, who has been
chosen by president-elect Donald Trump to serve as ambassador to
the United Nations.
Steck says that he's shared his desire with party leaders.
I've been meeting with the chairs.
There's a process, and a lot of people are doing
the same thing, meeting with the chairs, and I imagine
it's happening on both sides of the equation here.
The Democrats are going to do something similar.
And you know, that's why I made the chairs aware
of my interest and my argument.
You know that, you know that not only can I
do the job, I've proven that I can do the
job.
Once Stefanik leaves Congress, it's up to party leaders to
decide who will run in a special election.
