A Manhattan resident is expected to seek the nomination for the Republican Party in the vacated 51st legislative district this fall.
Megan Steele announced her candidacy several weeks back looking to fill the seat left vacated by incumbent Kenny Titus who is running for the State Senate.
Steele has worked as a school nurse and says she’s running to protect our children’s futures.
