Cindy Doran for Assembly

Voters head to the polls April 24th for special elections to fill 11 vacant seats in the New York state Legislature — including the 107^th district Assembly seat formerly held by Republican Steve McLaughlin, who became Rensselaer County Executive. Two Rensselaer County legislators, Republican Jake Ashby and Democrat Cindy Doran, are vying for the seat. In the first of a two-part series, WAMC's Capital Region Bureau Chief speaks with Cindy Doran.
