Dylan Ratigan considers a run for Congress - NY-21
http://poststar.com/news/local/article_945a2e64-8332-5609-8e6d-4ad8b4a52236.html
SARANAC LAKE — Former MSNBC pundit, businessman, Saranac Lake native and Lake Placid resident Dylan Ratigan is considering a run for Congress as the 10th Democratic candidate in New York’s 21st Congressional District. He said he expects to announce his decision by the end of the weekend.
Ratigan, who has been a television commentator on economics, Wall Street and politics for MSNBC’s “The Dylan Ratigan Show,” Bloomberg News and The Young Turks, said he will run if he is able to clear his candidacy with three stakeholders: the 12 district commissioners, his family and the business he has been involved with for five years.

He said he has lived in Lake Placid for the last five years or so, in a house he owns. His website bio says, “He’s now a nomadic road warrior constantly traveling around the country, primarily residing in New York City, Louisiana, California and Chicago.” He got married in December 2016.
Ratigan’s platform, if he runs, would likely center on money’s influence in politics, treatment of veterans, decriminalization of drugs and support for what he calls “healthy capitalism,” based on his website bio and social media postings in recent months.
