From the Times Ledger:State Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside) has two less challengers after Sen. Toby Stavisky (D-Whitestone) decided to run in another district and former Sen. Frank Padavan opted not to relive a heated previous campaign for his old seat.
“I’m going to focus my efforts on getting Dan re-elected,” Padavan said at a recent event, referring to City Councilman Dan Halloran (R-Whitestone), who is running for Congress.
It was widely speculated earlier this year that Padavan would face off against Avella in a general election, and Padavan told TimesLedger Newspapers in February that he was considering the move.
But a source in the Queens Republican Party confirmed Padavan did not want to run. Now the party is in the process of drawing up a shortlist of possible candidates and interviewing them.
It was also uncertain where Stavisky would end up running after the redistricting process, but her office said she would be making an announcement on the steps of Flushing Library, at 41-17 Main St., indicating she would go for the new 16th District.
That district most closely resembles her current seat, but is centered around Flushing, with two arms that extend west into Forest Hills and east along the Long Island Expressway into parts of Bayside. The district is 53 percent Asian, and by running there Stavisky will avoid a primary with Avella.

That's funny...
the feedback we got at a local civic meeting from Padavan was...
that Frank didn't seem to think very much of Halloran or his abilities.
But we're not very much surprised that Frank is now supporting Dan.
Party loyalty always
comes before good government.
In exchange
for supporting candidate Halloran...
Padavan will be given a good staff position somewhere within the Republican party.
Whoa...wait a minute...
"doofy" Dan "hollerin" Halloran re-elected?
Not on out watch!
Halloran has screwed more constituents than staffers!
