Could John McHugh Now Have a 2008 Challenger?

North Country Congressman John McHugh (R) may now have a 2008 Democratic challenger. Jeremy Brunton, 26, of Clinton County, has expressed his interest in running for the seat over at The Albany Project:

"I am writing today to introduce myself. My name is Jeremy Brunton and I plan on running for the House seat in the 23rd district in New York in 2008 as a Democrat.. My challenger will be Rep. John Mchugh. I know that I have a huge task in front of me. Considering a democrat has not held the seat since the 1800s. I plan on changing that hopefully with help from some of you. In order for me to even have a chance in this election, I must get organized early."
"I have lived what the politicians in Washington only think they know how it is. I want to bring my life experience to Washington and truly represent the "little man." I believe I can do this by inciting the middle class and youth to vote for real change. I want to pull of this upset and show that it not impossible to upset a high ranking congressmen that is out of touch with his people."

It is still unknown yet whether McHugh's 2004 and 2006 challenger, Dr. Bob Johnson (D) of Jefferson County, who now operates the McHugh Watch website, plans to challenge McHugh for a third time.

We wish Jeremy good luck, though.
