| The two leading contenders for the Democratic nod in the 61st Senate District race met with the Genesee County Democratic Committee last night. Dan Ward and Michele Iannello both impressed the Genesee County Dems. In the past, a number of sources from Genesee County have said that Iannello has been very impressive in her approach thus far and Ward has a great resume and experience to run on.
As for "Baby" Joe Mesi, he was a no-show after originally being slated to attend the Genesee County Dems meeting last night.
Iannello and Ward both impressed me when I met them. Their resumes speak for themselves but as people, they are very open and they worked the room. I think we need to know more about Mesi. Mesi hasn't really opened up politically. The 61st needs to know where he stands on the issues if he wants to be considered a serious contender. |
