Senate Contender Peddling Himself, One Pedal at a Time

By Josh Kurtz, Roll Call Staff

Jonathan Tasini called from Hudson, N.Y., on Monday afternoon. It was day five of his three-week-long bike ride from New York City to Buffalo, and though rain has been raging up and down the East Coast for the past few days, the long-shot Democratic Senate candidate hasn’t felt a drop. Only after he completed Monday’s ride from Kingston to Hudson did the skies open up. “You look at karmic signs, but the rain has not caught up with us,” a happy Tasini said.

In Brooklyn, the Tarnished Fork Award Goes to Hillary
