Tom Duane, the longtime state senator for the lower and midtown westside manhattan is retiring. This is an incredibly important race to the LGBT community, whoever wins will be the candidate for the whole community there. Hoyland is way ahead of everybody in fundraising and endorsements. He has been annointed by the local powerbrokers and by Tom Duane himself to be his successor. Tom Greco is his main opponent, and he owns a local bar and has been active in the McManus club. Greco's argument is that the voters should be able to decide who is the next State Senator, and not the political establishment. Noted independent democrats like Yetta Kurland are among his biggest supporters. .
