Johnston vs. Williams in the 29th?

Republicans in the 29th State Senatorial District reportedly endorsed State Rep. Shawn Johnston, a Democrat from Thompson who earlier this month announced he would not seek re-election this year, as their candiate to challenge incumbent Senate President Pro Tem Don Williams, D-Brooklyn in this year's General Assembly elections.

No word yet on whether Johnston will accept the nomination.

If he does, it probably the most interesting and fascinating General Assembly race of the year.
