Background: Democrat Scott Murphy has cut Republican Jim Tedisco’s lead by two-thirds in the race to replace Kirsten Gillibrand in the 20th Congressional District. [1]

The Washington, D.C. office and the district office of the Honorable Kirsten Gillibrand will continue to serve the people of the Twentieth Congressional District of New York under the supervision of the Clerk of the House of Representatives. [2]

The 20th Congressional District of New York is a congressional district for the United States House of Representatives in eastern New York. [3]

By federal law and the Rules of the House of Representatives, the employees of the former Representative continue to staff the offices of the congressional district under the supervision of the Clerk of the House of Representatives. [...] This interim vacant status continues until a new Representative is elected to fill the unexpired term. [2]

Incumbent John E. Sweeney was the nominee for the Republican Party, while attorney Kirsten Gillibrand was the nominee for the Democratic Party. [...] Sundwall called on Congress to “declare war” according to the U.S. Constitution when invading any nation. [4]

ALBANY’The polls don’t close until 9 p.m., but turnout in the special election today is “decent,” according to Republican Party chair in Saratoga County. [5]

York’s rural 20th Congressional District becomes the center of the American political world this week in a special election that’s piqued the interest of both major parties. [1]

Earlier today, election lawyer John Ciampola obtained an injunction to place them under lock and key until a court hearing can take place April 6. [5]

Since they did not lose a single House seat nationwide, Gillibrand’s win clinched control of the House of Representatives for the Democrats. [4]

The biggest downside for Democrats to Kirsten Gillibrand’s appointment to the U.S. Senate, supposedly, was that it would endanger the House seat that she’d won in 2006 and (convincingly) in 2008 - and that quite possibly no other Democrat would be able to win. [5]

“Eight in 10 voters have seen or heard a commercial for [Mr.] Murphy, while 86% have seen or heard a Tedisco ad,” Mr. Greenberg said in a written statement. [1]

ALBANY’After appearing with Scott Murphy, the Democrat vying to win her old seat in Congress, Kirsten Gillibrand has recorded a robocall on his behalf. [5]

Republican Jim Tedisco, a state legislator for 27 years, faces Democrat Scott Murphy, a businessman who has the backing of the president and influential unions. [1]
