Incumbent Rep. Tim Bishop, D-Southampton, and challenger Randy Altschuler, R-St. James, faced off yet again in 2012 for New York's First Congressional District seat, with Bishop defeating Altschuler once again. What differed from this race versus two years earlier was the candidates' use of Patch as both Bishop and Altschuler blogged frequently for the sites we have towns for within the district. Here are the blogs the two wrote in 2012.
