Hoffman has lived in the general vicinity of the NY-23 for over 30 years. In 2002 redistricting, his home fell outside of the district lines, but a few months ago he moved to a new home within the district.
Doheny is pro-abortion and will not get the Conservative Party ballot line. That means that he cannot beat Owens. I don’t see how Republicans can possibly support him over Hoffman.
If Doheny is pro-abortion, than he is not the right candidate for the nomination.
