2 On Your Side has confirmed Erie County Legislature candidate Albert DeBenedetti is stepping out of the race for the sixth legislative district. The democrat served seven terms but did not run again in 2005. Earlier this year, DeBenedetti threw his hat back in the ring.
Now, Buffalo School Board member Ralph Hernandez told 2 On Your Side he was "offered" to take DeBenedetti's place as a candidate for the legislative seat.
Hernandez told 2 On Your Side's Josh Boose that he "met with a group of 14 or 15 people Thursday evening to discuss the prospect and it was offered".
Hernandez said he's "contemplating" the idea and will make a decision sometime Friday morning.
DeBenedetti could not be reached for comment.
