Republican leaders in Western New York have tapped the Chautauqua County Executive as their choice to replace former State Senator Catherine Young.
Republican Party chairmen in the 57th Senate District endorsed George Borrello yesterday. Borrello will represent the Republicans in either the November election or a special election if one is called by Governor Cuomo.
Democrats have reportedly settled on a candidate as well, but party officials say they are waiting to find out whether or not there will be a special election to announce their choice.
