Buffalo, N.Y. (WBEN) - Fillmore District Councilman Mitch Nowakowski may be eyeing a political promotion.
Nowakowski is apparently eyeing a seat in the New York State Senate currently held by State Sen. Tim Kennedy.
"In the event of a seat vacancy for the 63rd New York State Senate seat, I have expressed my interest in filling the seat with the chairman of the Erie County Democratic Committee when and if that time comes," said Nowakowski in a statement on Wednesday.
The 63rd district seat is currently held by Kennedy, who has thrown his hat into the ring for Brian Higgins' seat in Congress.
