He was an assemblyman for 2 years in the 1980s.

Duane is a forgotten name...but as it is with all egotistical lawyers...they think they're king! of the hill.

BAH! He'll get a few votes.

And what an ASS-emblyman he was!
did anyone notice what he'd accomplished, if anything?

Even little Dougie Prescott had more charisma!

Of course he was only a one-term Assemblyman, but in his two years I believe he did something for Vietnam veterans - in fact, I recall that Frank Padavan was trying to hold the bill up in the Senate because he didn't want Duane to get the credit for it. Padavan wanted to make Duane look bad so that Doug Prescott could regain the seat. Someone more knowledgeable, or with a better memory, may be able to fill in the details.

I know John over 15 years he's a good guy and a good friend.---not your average Democrat, He's apparently never f_cked over anybody. I never heard a bad word about him and I know alot of people from his area.
Yeah he's a lawyer, aren't they all ?

Good for you Joe...
but Duane was a dork who accomplished NOTHING!
I cast my vote for a candidate who can improve my nabe.

There are a lot of good fellows out there who sit and warm a bench once elected.

Maybe he was your good drinking buddy...but
I don't support my friends, if they can't do the job

Duane is a hand job!.

"accomplished NOTHING"

And that's EXACTLY how you should want your precious Democrats if your going to keep electing them !
Track records show the only "CHANGE" Democrats make a is for the worse !!
Tweed, Moses, Kennedy, Johnson, Bloomberg, Obama, Clinton, Katz, Kahn, Kelly, Marshall, Cooper, Crowley, Cuomo, Quinn, Schumer etc.
The list goes on and on-- whoring crooked socialists looking to build "monuments to themselves" refusing to enforce current laws and uphold the US Constitution.
That's why whole neighborhoods have been f_cked up.
