Who are John Faso's Democratic challengers?

Brad Sylvester

In March, Reps. John Faso and Chris Collins added an amendment to the House Republicans’ Obamacare repeal legislation that would have shifted Medicaid costs from New York’s counties to the state.

Democrats have been attacking the pair ever since, with Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other party leaders pledging to knock them – and four other New York Republicans – out of Congress.

But while just one Democratic challenger has emerged to take on Collins so far, there is already a large field of Democrats vying for the chance to challenge Faso in the 19th Congressional District. And like last year, when Faso defeated Zephyr Teachout in the general election, next year’s contest is drawing national attention and could be one of the most expensive races in the country.

It is a shame he won in the first place. Zephyr Teachout was a horrible chose last time for that district!
