Barclay to reveal decision on Congress run Monday

Assemblyman William A. Barclay, R-Pulaski, told his supporters in a Thursday e-mail that he's decided whether to run for the 23rd Congressional District seat. He'll announce his decision Monday.

"I need a few extra days," he wrote. "I got tied up longer than expected with some tasks and then I have been so busy in Albany that I have not able to find enough time to properly prepare the announcement."

If Mr. Barclay runs, he'll join Matthew A. Doheny, Watertown, and Douglas L. Hoffman, Lake Placid, in a primary for the Republican nomination.
