The special election for the 26th Congressional District seat is getting down to the wire. Monday is the last day for candidates to campaign before Tuesday's election.


Democratic candidate, Kathy Hochul spent the morning in Greece with Lt. Governor Bob Duffy, who officially endorsed her Monday morning.  They met with people at the Long Pond Family restaurant in hopes of getting more votes.


"My favorite thing to do is stop in a place like this," Hochul said. "If I see two or more cars in front of a restaurant I'm pulling over and asking people what's on your mind, what's of concern to you."


"She's a local government person," Duffy said. "She's what we need. She will protect Medicare and especially looking at a restaurant like this, there's a lot of senior citizens here.  She will fight."


According to the most recent
Siena College poll, Hochul leads the race by four percent.


The other candidates - Republican Jane Corwin, Tea Party representative Jack Davis and Green Party candidate Ian Murphy were campaigning Monday as well.
