BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - A Buffalo businessman says he’ll challenge Congressman Brian Higgins in the Democratic primary.
Emin “Eddie” Egriu (Ee-grew) announced his candidacy in the western New York district on Monday.
Egriu is a 52-year-old contractor and former project director of a community group committed to revitalizing city neighborhoods.
He is the second person to enter the race for the 26th Congressional District in recent days. Last week, Republican Kathy Weppner, a former radio talk show host, announced her candidacy.
Higgins is serving his fifth term.
