60th Senate District
Coppola received the local IP’s endorsement between mouthfuls of spaghetti parm at Chef’s. Republican Chris Jacobs, a member of the Buffalo School Board, is running as a Republican, and the Conservative endorsement is pending. 
Antoine Thompson, to his credit, has dropped out of the race for the February special election, but will remain a candidate for the September primary; when Coppola is elected (let’s face it - its a predominately Democratic district) he will serve out the balance of Mayor Brown’s term; i.e., about 8 months. That entire time will essentially be a primary race against Thompson.
