Republican Steve McLaughlin is feeling pretty good about his run for Rensselaer County executive as his campaign released on Thursday a poll that shows him leading fellow Republican Chris Meyer 2-to-1.
The poll conducted by McLaughlin’s campaign by Advantage, Inc., showed the Assembly lawmaker leading Meyer 69 percent to 31 percent.
“I’ve represented Rensselaer County with courage and conviction for the last six years, and the results of this poll demonstrate county residents trust me to do the same as their next County Executive,” McLaughlin said in a statement.
McLaughlin and Meyer, the deputy county executive, are vying for the post held by outgoing incumbent Kathy Jimino, who declined to seek another term.
McLaughlin has risen to prominence in Albany for his pugnacious criticism of Gov. Andrew Cuomo. His campaign in recent weeks has picked up a stream of endorsements, including nods from Republicans like Rob Astorino, the Westchester County executive and 2014 gubernatorial candidate, and former Rep. Chris Collins.
“This insurmountable lead is a reflection of my courage in standing up to the establishment because the people I represent deserve better,” McLaughlin said. “I’m proud to give my constituents a voice and I look forward to continuing as County Executive.
