NORTH GREENBUSH, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Rensselaer County Exec. Steve McLaughlin is seeking another term in office. McLaughlin launched his re-election campaign on Thursday.

He touted his record of cutting taxes and investing in infrastructure improvements. The announcement comes amid speculation he might try to run for the 21st Congressional District if Rep. Elise Stefanik is confirmed as the Ambassador to the United Nations.

McLaughlin said he remains committed to his current job.

"You don't ever say never in life," he said. "I would think if the president calls, it's hard to say no to a president of the United States. But short of that, I don't see anything changing at all."

Stefanik met with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee earlier in the week. If she is confirmed as UN Ambassador, a special election would be held to fill her seat in the House of Representatives.
