According to the Jamestown Post-Journal<\/em><\/a>, potential candidates for the state’s 23rd congressional district<\/strong> include Jamestown area attorney Eddie Sundquist<\/strong><\/a>, Corning area teacher and union leader Rick Gallant<\/strong><\/a>, and Ithaca businessman Ian Golden.<\/strong> Also listed as a potential candidate via Facebook is Enfield, New York resident James Clasby<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

With the election still nearly a year-and-a-half away, more potential candidates cold also be coming forward in the coming weeks and months. If necessary, a Democratic primary will take place in June 2018.<\/p>\n
