| Description | Washington -- Ann Marie Buerkle, a former Syracuse Common Council member who has worked as a nurse and health care lawyer, won the Republican Party's designation Wednesday night in the 25th Congressional District.
Buerkle's victory sets up a November election against incumbent freshman Rep. Dan Maffei, of DeWitt, and a race the GOP hopes to focus on the economy and the debate over health care reform.
But first Buerkle must consolidate support within her own party. One of her two Republican challengers, former turkey farm owner Mark Bitz, of Lysander, said Wednesday he has not ruled out the possibility of challenging Buerkle in a primary.
Bitz said he would take some time to decide whether to challenge Buerkle or endorse her candidacy. |
