Andrew Brockway is a Democrat seeking to take the New York State Assembly covering the 114th District.

Andrew was born in Plattsburgh, New York in Clinton County and received his B.A. in Politics from SUNY Potsdam in 2004. After receiving his degree, he worked for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in Washington DC for an undisclosed period of time.

Brockway has yet to finish his master's in Public Administration at the Nelson A. Rockefeller School of Public Affairs and Policy at SUNY Albany in 2005. He took a "leave of absence" to run for NYS Assembly in March of 2006.

In April of 2006, he received the unanimous endorsement of Clinton County, and many of the towns in Franklin County.

Andrew is running in a Primary against Kevin Nichols -- a personal injury lawyer from Malone with a history of representing many innocent victims of coporate greed and industry still engaged in discrimination against women, older workers and the disabled. Nichols, in addition to earning a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and a law degree also earned a graduate degree in Public Administraion. The primary date is September 12, 2006.

Nichols recently sued the town of Plattsburgh on behalf of a client who was subjected to the most egregious form of sexual harrasment. He filed a complaint with the EEOC on her behalf for continued retaliation against her. Shortly afterwards the Town Supervisor fired the woman, costing taxpayers $30,000.

Nichols also worked for the City of Boston, and worked hard to bring about pay equity for women employees and was noted for his fairness in the City's grievance procedure. He was on the City's negotiation team which granted 21% increases across the board representing historic inceases in pay and benefits for union workers. Nichols also worked in the City's Homeless Shelter where he worked to provide jobs and housing for Homeless people
