Buffalo, NY (WBEN) As we anticipate a special election in NY27 to replace Chris Collins, we look back to another special election, held about 18 months ago, and talk to the two candidates in that race.
In 2018, Mickey Kearns resigned from the Assembly when he was elected Erie County Clerk. Governor Cuomo called a special election for April, and the two candidates were Erik Bohen and Patrick Burke.

Did Bohen have any regrets running either time after losing to Burke in November? "I have no regrets. I met so many great people, so many people I interacted with, Democrat and Republican. I have no regrets," says Bohen.
