Republican Mayor of Corning Tom Reed announced that he would be challenging freshman Congressman Eric Massa (NY-29) in next year's congressional election. The election s sixteen months away, but Reed’s campaign says he needs an early start in order to raise his name ID and introduce himself to voters. Eric Massa defeated former Congressman Randy Kuhl in 2008 in a rematch of their 2006 election battle. Massa received just over 48% of the vote when he lost in 2006 and 51% of the vote when he won in 2008. On the presidential level, John McCain received more votes than Barack Obama, though just barely. The National Republican Congressional Committee is targeting this seat in the 2010 elections and is touting Mayor Reed as an A-list recruit.
