Skoufis
HIGHLAND MILLS – Assemblyman James Skoufis (D, Woodbury) will announce his future political plans on Monday. He has called a noon campaign event, but on Friday would not say what that announcement will be.
The lawmaker has been urged to run for the 39th District Senate seat being vacated by the retiring Republican William Larkin and he has acknowledged he was considering it.
Whether he will opt to seek another term in the Assembly or run for the Senate seat remains to be seen. In a memo to his supporters, Skoufis did not reveal his intention, but just invited them to his event to be held at Palaia Winery in Highland Mills.
Skoufis has already filed a Senate campaign committee with the state
board of elections. If he decides to run, he will face either Republican
Thomas Basile or Michael Anagnostakis.
