As Richard Wager tries to gain momentum for a bid for Congress in the 20th District, he can check one thing off his list: an address in the district.
Wager, a Republican, is a native of Hyde Park but lives in Manhattan, where he works for the administration of Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He and his wife closed Friday on a house in Millbrook, and he plans to spend more and more time upstate as the year progresses.
"We've got a wonderful house in a great little spot," Wager said. Three bedrooms. Built in 1898. Just outside the village. Furniture on the way.
Straw Poll had to ask: What did you pay for the place?
Wager declined to answer.
"It's good reconnecting with old friends," he said. "I obviously love the area, so we're very excited about the house."
And he said his fundraising for a potential 2008 challenge to U.S. Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-Hudson, has been going so well that he's changed his exploratory committee to a full-fledged campaign committee: Wager for Congress.

you should be able to find out how much he paid at the county clerk's office, if you are really that interested
