Kuhl decides against run for Massa seat

BATH, NY - John "Randy" Kuhl, who represented New York's 29th congressional district for 4 years, has decided against another run at Capitol Hill.

Kuhl put his name back in the public sphere shortly after Eric Massa announced last week he was resigning the seat.

Now Kuhl, a Southern Tier native, said he's decided against running again, despite the pleas of hundreds of constituents in the past few days.

From his website:

"Over the last week, I have heard from hundreds of my former constituents urging me to run for my old congressional seat. Their emotional plea to me was humbling and most appreciative. But, after careful consideration, I have decided to forego a run for Congress. I want to sincerely thank everyone who has supported me during my 28 years of public service. I look forward to helping the 29th District in any way that I can and I urge my neighbors and friends to support Tom Reed for this congressional seat."
