‘Election Watch’: State and federal legislative races of interest – Hochul(D) vs. Collins(R)

This week’s "Election Watch" features democratic Rep. Kathleen Hochul vs. Republican challenger Chris Collins. Hochul, who is leading the way in fundraising, is seeking her first full term in 2012 and is considered especially vulnerable because of redistricting. Collins won the republican primary and enjoys widespread name recognition throughout western New York. This race is expected to be highly contentious.
