Michelle Schimel (D) Challenged By Estranged Husband Mark Schimel (R) In New York Assembly Race
Michelle Schimel, a New York assemblywoman who is running for her fourth term, is all too familiar with her opponent in this fall's election.
Schimel, a Democrat who represents the 16th Assembly district in New York, will be challenged by her husband, Mark Schimel, who was selected by the Nassau County GOP to be the party's nominee in November's election. According to ABC News, he was chosen over two other potential candidates.
The Schimels, who have been married for 32 years and have two children, are separated but not legally divorced.

However, Michelle Schimel sees the situation quite differently.
"This is a very painful and personal family matter," she said in a statement. "The Republican Party is taking advantage of it and manipulating the political process. They are using it as an opportunity to drag my personal life into the public."

My wife, in her job, has had to take a bunch of stories about this one out of papers across NYS. I asked her about it this morning, and she told me that she's sick of the story. Oh well!
