Election Day is Tuesday, June 25.

There is only one issue on the ballot: Who will be the Democratic candidate for assemblymember representing the 106th District in the New York State Assembly--Claire Cousin, who was elected twice, both times running unopposed, to represent the First Ward on the Columbia County Board of Supervisors, or respected and longtime assemblymember Didi Barrett, who has ably served the residents of District 106 for ten years?

Over the past few weeks, voters in the 106th Assembly District have been bombarded with mailings from both candidates, including this "attack" flyer from the Cousin campaign . . . 

and this response from the Barrett campaign:

Today, the Register-Star published three letters to the editor in support of Didi Barrett, all of which can be found here.

• "Barrett's commitment does not falter," from Margaret Morris, Hudson First Ward Councilmember
• "Barrett delivers for District 106," from Keith Kanaga, former chair of the Columbia County Democratic Committee
• "Only one choice for June 25," from Susan Bane, M.D.

Gossips concurs with everything the writers of the three letters have to say.
