Challenger Opens Office in Silver's District

Luke Henry, one of Sheldon Silver's Democratic opponents, announced this morning that he's opening 400-square-foot campaign office on Madison Street in the middle of the lower Manhattan Assembly district.

Silver's other Democratic opponent, Paul Newell, opened a campaign office in Chinatown earlier.

As I've written before, it's going to be tough for either of these opponents actually to threaten Silver, but the presence of the offices does at least show a certain level of seriousness.
