This is a good article overall, though I do have a few issues:

• "Gorski served thirteen months during the Vietnam War under the command of Col. Robert Reilly." the time spent is mentioneda few times, making it redundant. Only the first mention needed.

• "He was succeeded as the 143rd district representative in the New York State Assembly by Paul Tokasz in a March 1988 special election." Who was, Crangle or Gorski? Can't tell.

• "In 1992, he ran against Republican Jack Quinn and Mary Refermat for Henry Nowak's seat in the United States House of Representatives to serve in the 103rd United States Congress."
