John Faso would be good. Politics1.com lists a bunch of potential candidates:
District 19:
[ Chris Gibson (R)* - Retiring in 2016. ]
Kathy Jimino (R) - Rensselaer County Executive & Ex-Rensselaer County Legislator
Pete Lopez (R) - State Assemblyman, Ex-Schoharie County Clerk & Ex-Schoharie Village Supervisor
Steve McLaughlin (R) - State Assemblyman, Mortgage Banker & Ex-Airline Pilot
Marc Molinaro (R) - Dutchess County Executive, Ex-State Assemblyman & Ex-Tivoli Village Mayor
Jim Seward (R) - State Sen., Ex-Milford Town Justice & Ex-Otsego County GOP Chair
Sean Eldridge (D) - Venture Capitalist & ‘14 Nominee
Pat Fahy (D) - State Assemblywoman, Ex-Albany School Board Member & Ex-Congressional Aide
Terry Gipson (D) - Ex-State Sen., Ex-Rhinebeck Village Trustee & Video/Event Production Designer
Mike Hein (D) - Ulster County Executive, Ex-Ulster County Administrator & Ex-Bank Manager
Julian Schreibman (D) - Ex-Ulster County Democratic Chair, Attorney & ‘12 Nominee
Joanne Yepsen (D) - Saratoga Springs Mayor, Ex-Saratoga County Supervisor & Non-Profit Group Consultant
I hope that Jim Seward doesn’t run, since he’d have to give up his competitive state senate seat to do so. If Faso doesn’t run, Pete Lopez sounds like the best choice (just about all of his state assembly district lies within the NY-18).
Well, sounds like Kane not only won’t be able to run against Toomey as she originally planned, but that she won’t even be able to run for reelection a AG:
