The 11 Republican County Chairs of New York’s 23rd Congressional district have selected Assemblywoman Diedre “Dede” Scozzafava to run on the Republican line in the the expected special election to replace Rep. John McHugh, who has been tapped by President Barack Obama to become the Secretary of the Army. Scozzafava’s selection came after an interview and seletion process that pit her against a handful of prospective candidates, most competitively against Matt Doheny, a political newcomer and investment banker who put $500,000 of his own money in the race, and raised $300,000 in the weeks leading up to the selection.
