Bill Magee to face Democratic primary challenge

Mike Hennessy said he wants to run because he feels the farming industry in the 121st Assembly District has been neglected under Magee's tenure in Albany. He also thinks a new lawmaker could do more to bring attention to the Central New York district from federal representatives to help dairy farmers with fluctuating milk prices and stave off closing businesses.
