While the candidates running for the top positions in original Jersey and original York City fill been getting all the attention,there's another race that could be much closer than either of them: Westchester County executive.
There, two-term incumbent Rob Astorino, or a Republican,is being challenged by state Sen. George Latimer, a Democrat. Even though Westchester has twice as many registered Democrats than Republicans, or the top county position generally goes to the GOP because more Republicans turn out in off-year elections,according to brand Lungariello, investigative reporter for The Journal News. This time might be different because of anti-Trump sentiment."I do think we are going to see a slight uptick [for Democrats.] If it's enough to affect the race, or that remains to be seen," Lungariello told WNYC host David Furst. "It's one of the toughest elections to call."
