NORWICH - The Chenango County Board of Election anticipates a quiet election Tuesday for the June 26 federal primary.
Of 17 statewide elections, the only local action is in the 22nd District, where U.S. Congressman Richard L. Hanna, of Barneveld, and Michael J. Kicinski, Sr., of Earlville, vie for the GOP nomination. The 22nd encompasses Chenango, Cortland, Madison, Oneida, and parts of Broome, Herkimer, Oswego and Tioga counties.
The Chenango County Republican Committee unanimously endorsed Congressman Hanna in April. Hanna is also backed by the Independence Party of New York State, which previously endorsed him in his 2008 and 2010 bids in the 24th District, before redistricting.
