 FISHKILL, N.Y. (AP) - For a dozen years, upstate New Yorkers' view of Republican Rep. Sue Kelly could be summed up in a song — the 1970s pop tune "Still the One."
This election year, a few Democrats, including singer-songwriter John Hall who penned the tune, are looking to unseat the six-term congresswoman elected as part of the 1994 Republican revolution.
Hall, a 57-year-old former county legislator, has injected some celebrity sizzle into the contest. Singers Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne have held fundraisers. A fundraising concert featuring Rosanne Cash and Steve Earle is in the works for August. Marquee music names such as rocker Bruce Springsteen and producer Clive Davis have contributed to Hall's campaign.
