Jim Scaramuzzino, of Van Buren, will run for the 13th District seat against Bob Warner. Kristen Zimmer-Meile, of the Town of Onondaga, has filed to run against Pat Kilmartin in the 11th District, but will step aside if another candidate emerges. Diane Dwire, the Party Chairwoman, says they are negotiating with another potential candidate for the 11th District seat.
