Senate Democrats are optimistic about their chances for winning a special election in April to replace convicted ex-Senate Leader Dean Skelos .
Senate Democratic Leader Andrea Stewart Cousins, in an interview with public radio and television, predicts the Democratic candidate in the race for the Skelos seat, Assemblyman and former prosecutor Todd Kaminsky, will do “quite well”, and represents “a break from the past”.
“Which frankly, voters out there deserve and need,” Stewart Cousins said.
Kaminsky faces Republican Attorney Chris McGrath.
