FILE--In this Jan. 26, 2015 file photo, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, D-Manhattan, right, walks with Assembly members Catherine Nolan, D-Sunnyside, Herman Farrell Jr, D-Manhattan, Majority Leader Joseph Morelle, D-Rochester, and Joseph Lentol, D-Brooklyn, in Albany, N.Y. Sheldon Silver announced his resignation as two lawmakers jockeyed for his position Friday, Jan. 30, 2015 following federal charges that the longtime leader took nearly $4 million in kickbacks. Morelle dropped out of the race and threw his support to Assemblyman Carl Heastie, D-Bronx, who appears to have the job locked up. Assemblywoman Catherine Nolan of Queens remains the only other candidate.(AP Photo/Mike Groll, File)
