Stefanik wins Congressional GOP primary By Pete DeMola pete@denpubs.com
QUEENSBURY Ñ Elise Stefanik has handily defeated Matt Doheny in securing the Republican nomination to replace outgoing Congressman Bill Owens (D-Plattsburgh) in the race for New YorkÕ s 21st Congressional District.
If elected in November, she will be the youngest woman in history to be elected to the U.S. Congress. She is 29 years old. Once returns started coming in shortly after polls closed Tuesday night at 9 p.m. Ñ data from polling places was zipped off to each county, verified by officials and uploaded onto their respective websites Ñ Doheny, an investment banker from Watertown, never regained his footing.
Stefanik took an early lead over Doheny as returns from Fulton County started coming in at roughly a 2-to-1 clip. St. Lawrence, Lewis, Essex, Clinton, Hamilton, Warren Ñ even Jefferson, DohenyÕ s home county Ñ all went to Stefanik. CONTINUED ON PAGE 3
