Businessman Randy Altschuler appears to be the favorite in the GOP race in a district that takes in the eastern half of Long island.
Republican insiders are quietly skeptical that the grandson of the late President Richard M. Nixon, attorney/businessman Chris Cox, will make it out of the Republican primary in New York’s 1st Congressional District.Randy Altschuler, the conservative Republican candidate for Congress (NY-1), today warned Suffolk County taxpayers to “prepare to be mugged.” Altschuler was referring to the expected inaction by Congressional Democrats that will allow the 2001 and 2003 GOP tax cuts to lapse at the end of 2010. Altschuler, a successful self-made businessman, also called on Congressman Tim Bishop to “have the courage to stand-up for taxpayers everywhere and call for the renewal of this legislation.”
Chris Cox is challenging Demos attempt to get on the primary ballot, while launching his own attempt to get on the ballot.

Former Rep. Believes Altschuler Has What It Takes To Be a Great Congressman
Randy Altschuler, the conservative Republican candidate for Congress (NY-1), was endorsed today by former Long Island Congressman, Republican activist and political columnist John LeBoutillier. LeBoutillier was elected to Congress running on the Republican, Conservative and Right-to-Life Party lines. John LeBoutillier said, “I am endorsing Randy Altschuler today because he understands the policies of Tim Bishop, Nancy Pelosi and President Obama are bankrupting our nation. Tim Bishop is a rubber stamp for the far left; voting with Nancy Pelosi 97% of the time. Tim Bishop exemplifies the big spending, high taxing, deficit growing mentality of the career politician; his votes in Congress are bad for Suffolk County and for America.
