Mid-Hudson News Network and The Daily Freeman report that Democrats continue to support the idea of Ulster County Executive Michael Hein running for the Congressional seat being vacated by Chris Gibson (R-Kinderhook). Members of the College Democrats of New York recently voted to urge Hein to run, the paper reports.
