A North Country challenger for Scott Murphy?

The Glens Falls Post Star is reporting that Queensbury supervisor Dan Stec may challenge Democrat Scott Murphy in this year’s House race.

Stec, a Republican, said he will spend the month of February meeting with county chairmen and other prominent Republicans in the 20th Congressional District to discuss the race.

He said he already has met with one county chairman, a former county chairman and a state Republican committee member.

Murphy’s seat was expected to be hotly contested this year, but so far no challengers have formally stepped forward.

The Brown victory in Massachusetts could inspire more GOP contestants to enter races in some of these purple districts.
