I'm guessing Nassau County Legislator Dave Denenberg (if he doesn't run to replace Fuschillo), NIFA chair and former North Hempstead town supervisor Jon Kaiman (though I, Believe he lives in Meeks's district) and Kathleen Rice would be the stronger candidates...


As for the Republicans Scturro is still in it... but I doubt he gets a clear field now...

Other Possibilities are, Former State Assemblywoman and Town of Hempstead Supervisor Kate Murray, Nassau County Comptroller George Maragos, State Assemblyman David McDonough, State Assemblyman Ed Ra and State Senator Dean Skelos

Rice should clear the field for the Democrats;


Rice vs Kate Murray; Likely D (Murray's whole town is this district so she could make it a race... but Rice would still be favored)
Rice vs Ed Ra; Likely D (Ra has a solid local profile as a State Assemblyman, so he could make this a race, but Albany's unpopularity means this also could be a blowout)
Rice vs James Darcy; Likely D (Darcy is a town legislator and former Assemblyman so he may have some name recognition)
Rice vs George Maragos; Safe D (Like Rice he's clearly ambitious having run for Senate in 2010 (and finished third) but he has more of a history)
Rice vs Fran Becker; Likely D (Being a candidate in 2010 and 2012 gives him an advantage in a primary should he run again... but that's about it)
Rice vs Vincent Muscarella; Safe D (He's a county legislator and unlikely to run)
Rice vs Maureen O'Connell Safe D (She's the County Clerk and a former Assemblywoman, and she's very unlikely to wade into a contested primary, oh and she lives outside the district)
Rice vs Thomas McKevitt; Lean D (He's young, he's in the heavily Democratic State Assembly, And he's a moderate. Problem is if he ran, a more conservative candidate could outflank him easily)
Rice vs Ed Mangano; Lean D (He'd be a strong opponent, but he doesn't live near the district)

Kevan Abrahams vs Maragos; Likely D
Kevan Abrahmas vs Murray; Likely D
Kevan Abrahams vs Becker; Likely D
Kevan Abrahams vs McKevitt; Tossup Tilt/D
Kevan Abrahams vs Mangano Tossup Tilt/D
Kevan Abrahams vs Ra; Lean D
