Our Choice: Maffei for Congress

by Post-Standard Editorial Board

Wednesday October 29, 2008, 5:02 AM

As a recent headline noted, Central New York's next congressman will be a rookie. The departure of veteran Rep. James Walsh, R-Onondaga, leaves a vacuum in the 25th Congressional District, which stretches from Onondaga County to Rochester's eastern suburbs.

Seeking the seat are Republican Dale Sweetland of Fabius, a former farmer, crop insurance salesman and chairman of the Onondaga County Legislature; Democrat Dan Maffei of DeWitt, who served as a congressional aide for Sen.

Charles Rangel's powerful House Ways and Means Committee and now works as a senior vice president for Pinnacle Capital Management; and the Green Populist Party's Howie Hawkins of Syracuse, a political activist who works for UPS.
