Long: Ousting Skelos And Kolb Not An Issue

State of Politics


Conservative Party Chairman Mike Long believes Buffalo businessman Carl Paladino should be given “serious consideration” about a potential run for governor on the influential third party’s ballot line.

But he said Paladino’s push for oust Republican legislative leaders in the Senate and Assembly won’t be a factor in giving him the nomination.

“It’s Carl’s fight not mine,” Long told me in a phone interview Monday morning. “I think that issue is over for this year. The legislative members have already selected their leader.”

The New York Post’s Fred Dicker reported this morning that Long believes Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino will run for governor and that businessman Donald Trump ultimately will not.
