STATEWIDE -- When it comes to governing, Senate Republican Leader Dean Skelos has certainly worked well with Governor Andrew Cuomo.
The Senate GOP has allowed votes on key legislative victories for the governor such as same-sex marriage and gun control. However, with the statewide campaign taking center stage soon, the Nassau County lawmaker is backing Cuomo's general election opponent.
"I'm a full-throated Republican so I support Rob Astorino, always have been," said Skelos.
If there were any overarching themes for Republicans at their state convention, it was unity. It was clear to see a stark change from 2010 when the party was divided on its gubernatorial candidates. Having Republican lawmakers in the Senate on board could provide important support for Rob Astorino.
"We're all rowing the boat in the same direction. It's beneficial for me, it's benefical for them. I mean, we're going to win as a team or we're going to lose as a team," said Astorino.
State Party Chairman Ed Cox said Skelos still has to work with the reality that is Albany, and that means a divided government where Republicans are outnumbered.
"He's always been there in the political side of it. When he's governing he's got to make the sausage, work with the other leaders whether Democrat or Republican to get things done for the state of New York," said Cox.
Even though Skelos is predicting Senate Republicans will pick up three to four seats, if not get an outright majority, he does not believe that will impact the majority coalition with the Independent Democratic Conference.
"I want to keep that intact. I think it's worked well. We've had some differences of opinion. But that's good. The end result is getting results and I think that's worked well," said Skelos.
Keeping that majority coalition together may provide difficult for Skelos. Senator Greg Ball is not expected to run for another term, opening up the Hudson Valley Senate seat as a potential pick up for Democrats. There is also an open seat on Long Island thanks to Chuck Fuschillo's departure at the end of last year.

Republican lawmakers ready for challenge ahead
TULSA, Oklahoma -
The Republican candidates for U.S. Senate were in Tulsa Friday. They were part of a debate for the Republican club.
It's a tight race according to the polling, and it's a close race when it comes to the issues, with three candidates sounding very much alike.
In five weeks, the Republican Party will narrow down the three leading senate candidates to just one, either T.W. Shannon, James Lankford, or Randy Brogden.
They all have conservative credentials, all have been elected before, and all say the right things before a Republican crowd.
"It's about the size and scope of the government," Shannon said. "It's too large, too big, too intrusive and too expensive.
Lankford said, "Our debt and our economy is a huge threat to us."
"It's the debt. We've got to stop spending our kids future," Brogden said.
Lankford and Shannon are leading for now, according to an exclusive News on 6 poll, 33.8 percent of likely Republican voters statewide support Lankford. Shannon has 31.9 percent of the voters right now, and Brogdon is far behind with only 4.5 percent of the vote.
