Voters in the 145th State Assembly District will be heading to the polls Tuesday for a special election.

Two democratic candidates from South Buffalo area vying to fill the seat left vacant by former Assemblyman Mark Schroeder -- South District Common Council member Michael Kearns and Chris Fahey, staffer to Congressman Brian Higgins. 

Both recently participated in a Webcast debate hosted by the Buffalo News.  Buffalo News reporter Brian Meyer joined his colleague political reporter Bob McCarthy asking the questions.

On our weekly Press Pass conversation, Meyer tells WBFO' & AM-970's Eileen Buckley the race all comes down to politics.
