Buffalo, NY – Erie County Executive Joel Giambra confirms he is considering a possible run against Democratic Congresswoman Louise Slaughter this year. He had previously said he would wait until after his term as county executive ended before exploring other elective opportunities.
But Giambra tells WBFO News some top Republicans in the district have approached him about running.
"It's very encouraging to see that there are still Republican leaders who believe that I have a lot to offer," Giambra said. "I have a passion for public service. I just don't know if this is the right time. I'll be making a decision in the near future."
So far, Slaughter has no Republican opposition.
