Assemblyman Sam Hoyt announced last week that he would retire and take a position as senior vice president for regional economic development for the Empire State Development Corporation. Governor Andrew Cuomo called a special election to fill Hoyt’s and several other vacant seats on primary day September 13, a move the permits party leaders to choose their candidates.
