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)
