A look inside a North Country primary feud

DAYS THE BUDGET IS LATE: 43 PRIMARY COLORS : Republican Assemblymember Robert Smullen sat down with Rep. Elise Stefanik five years ago to talk about a rural development bill, but instead he made a bold claim: He intended to challenge her in a GOP primary. The previously unreported meeting, according to two people with direct knowledge of the private conversation who were granted anonymity to discuss it, occurred in July 2021.

Smullen never followed through with a Stefanik primary challenge. And in a statement, he denied ever planning to challenge her for the nomination. “I’ve never planned to primary Elise Stefanik,” he said in a statement.
