Matthew Hamilton in Capitol Confidential reports that New York State Senator George Amedore (R-Rotterdam), who represents Greene, Ulster, Albany, Schoharie, and other counties, and Assemblyman Steve McLaughlin, who represents Columbia and Rensselaer Counties, were at the Ted Cruz campaign rally April 7 in Scotia. Cruz spoke in the Mekeel Christian Academy gym for just under 30 minutes saying the media wants to see a race between two New York liberals, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Cruz currently is third to Trump and Ohio Governor John Kasich in most polls of New York republicans. April 19 is the primary for both Democrats and Republicans in the state.
