Local Congressman James Walsh [1](NY – 25) is retiring, Rachal Barnhart, 13WHAM: [2],

(Rochester, N.Y.) – Congressman James Walsh of Onondaga is retiring. The Republican has held the 25th district seat for two decades

[…]

So who will the Republicans run for his seat? 

Maggie Brooks [3]Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks has been mentioned as a possible contender. She lives in the district, has name recognition, and is a proven fundraiser.

I say, go for it Maggie. 

Brooks easily won re-election as Monroe County Executive, with no major party opposition.  Maggie can easily become the republican version of Louise Slaughter [4](NY — 28), a democat in a republican leaning district.

Hat Tip:  Memeorandum.
