Tom Watson explains it better than I can, as I’m not native to these parts. My state senator, Nick Spano (R), is one of those guys who campaigns year round.

However, these days maybe all Stewart-Cousins needs to win in Westchester County, New York, is a D after her name. [...] [...] In New York, there’s more action in the state and local races.
