Teachout is a Fordham University professor who\u2019s garnered a lot of attention after winning a court decision that would allow her name to remain on the ballot following a challenge by Cuomo\u2019s campaign. Credico is a Comedian and considered a long-shot candidate.<\/p>\n<p>In the Democratic Primary race for Lt. Governor,<strong> Kathy Hochul<\/strong> of Erie County has been tapped to be governor\u2019s Cuomo\u2019s running mate, replacing current lt. Gov. <strong>Robert Duffy<\/strong> of Rochester, who announced earlier this year he would not be seeking a second term as lt. governor Hochul is running against fellow democrat and Teachout running mate <strong>Timothy Wu<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>FAMILY COURT JUDGE RACES HIGHLIGHTS LOCAL PRIMARIES<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to the democratic primary for governor, there will also be six party primaries in the newly created office for a second Chautauqua <strong>County Family Court Judge<\/strong>. A total of four candidates will have their names on the ballot, with all of them vying for at least one of the six party endorsement.<\/p>\n<p>In the Democratic Party primary for that office, Falconer attorney <strong>Sally Jaroszynski<\/strong>, who is currently Ellicott Town Justice, will be facing Westfield attorney <strong>James Spann Jr.<\/strong> \u2013 who currently serves as the Westfield town justice.<\/p>\n<p>For the Republican Party, Jamestown attorney <strong>Jeffry Piazza<\/strong> will be running against Fredonia Mayor and attorney <strong>Michael Sullivan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Piazza, Sullivan and Spann will be competing for the endorsement of the Conservative Party.<\/p>\n<p>Both Spann and Sullivan are candidates for the Working Families Party.<\/p>\n<p>For the Independence Party, Piazza, Spann and Sullivan are all running for endorsement.<\/p>\n<p>And for the Green Party, Spann and Sullivan are running for endorsement.<\/p>\n<h3>DISTRICT 12 SPECIAL ELECTION TO FEATURE INDEPENDENCE PARTY PRIMARY<\/h3>\n<p>There is also a primary for Jamestown residents who live in district 12 for the <strong>Chautauqua County Legislature<\/strong>. That seat is having a special election in November, since current legislator and Democrat <strong>Beth Kresge<\/strong> was only appointed to the seat earlier this year. She\u2019ll be facing Jamestown Republican <strong>Elisabeth Rankin<\/strong> in the November general election. However, both candidates are also vying for the Independence Party endorsement on primary day \u2013 meaning any registered members of the independence party that live in District 12 will have the opportunity to vote for one of the two.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Primary day is on Tuesday, Sept. 9<\/strong>.
