Senator Schumer challenged by comedian, former addict | NBC-WKTV News Channel 2 - Utica News, Weather, Sports - | Local News: "ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - U.S. Senator Charles Schumer has represented New York state for more than a decade with little serious
opposition. But a funny thing happened on the way to Election Day this year: He picked up a challenge from a comedian activist.
Randy Credico's race against the formidable incumbent is already drawing celebrity intrigue. 'Seinfeld' co-creator Larry David has offered support for his fellow comic.
Credico hopes to take on Schumer in a primary for the Democratic line, but he's also talking to officials in the Libertarian party.
Credico is a recovered cocaine addict who mines his drug years for jokes.
He's spoken out for years against New York state's drug laws and has helped push for clemency for men and women who have been harshly sentenced or falsely accused of crimes."
