Michelle Hinchey, daughter of the late New York Congressman Maurice Hinchey,announced Wednesday that she is exploring a run for a state Senate seat. Hinchey formed a campaign committee to explore a 2020 run in the 46th State Senate District against Republican incumbent George Amedore. The 31-year-old Democrat says her father taught her the importance of how public service, hard work and collaboration can bring meaningful change.  A statement from Amedore says that he welcomes her into the conversation and looks forward to a spirited debate about the future of New York next year.
