GOSHEN – Republican Monroe Town Councilwoman Dorey Houle has been selected by the Martucci Vacancy Committee to challenge State Senator James Skoufis (D, Cornwall) in the fall general election.
Houle will replace Senator Michael Martucci who abruptly bowed out of the race several days ago. He cited family considerations as his reason.
The GOP had considered several candidates prior to the selection of Houle.
The new Senate district will represent most of Orange County.
