Maggie Brooks Isn't Running Either

There is some news to report relating to the now-vacant 29th Congressional District. The news is that nothing has changed. Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks had reached a decision not to run for the open seat left by Congressman Eric Massa’s resignation. That leaves Tom Reed as the lone Republican candidate in the race, as he has been for almost a year. There are still no Democrats in the race after several prospects took a pass. The Governor has indicated that he will be calling a special election for this seat at some point in the future to fill the remaining portion of the current term, which runs through to the end of the year.
