Collins' troubles giving a boost to challenger's chances

WBFO-FM 88.7 | By Jay Moran
Published August 10, 2018 at 9:58 AM EDT

Political observers are recalculating their expectations for the race in the 27th Congressional District in light of Chris Collins' legal troubles. Roll Call, the Washington D.C.-based publication, had rated the race as "solidly Republican"before Collins was indicted on charges of insider trading. Roll Call's Bridget Bowman tells WBFO that doors are now opening for Nate McMurray that may give the Democratic challenger the money needed to fund an upset.
