6th State Senate District Nomination to be Firehouse Primary

The legislative committee in the 6th State Senate district announced late last night that the nomination method would be a party canvass (also known as a firehouse primary) on Thursday, November 21st, from 3PM – 7 PM.

As of today, two (or three, depending on who you believe) candidates have filed to run for the party nomination: Wayne Coleman, Richard Ottinger, and perhaps, John Coggeshall.

On the other side of the aisle, three Democrats have filed for the Democratic nod, to be decided November 16th.
