In a move that's shaking up the New York 21st congressional district, Republican Assemblyman Robert Smullen has officially thrown his hat into the ring, filing for the June primary. With a career spanning over two decades in public service, Smullen is looking to transition from the state assembly to the U.S. House of Representatives, where he hopes to represent the interests of his constituents. His decision to run comes as a surprise to some, given the current occupant of the seat, but Smullen's experience and reputation in the region may make him a formidable contender. As the primary season heats up, Smullen's candidacy is set to spark a lively debate among Republican voters in the district.
