Alexander Burns writes in The New York Times about U.S. Rep. Chris Gibson's quest to revive the Republican Party statewide before the next gubernatorial campaign in 2018. In visits to party organizations in Buffalo and around New York City, Gibson has attacked business as usual in Albany, calling for term limits on the governor and the Legislature. He has also accused Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of failing to live up to his pledge to confront corruption in the state capital. Gibson won a landslide re-election bid last year, but stunned Republicans less than two months later by announcing he would not seek another term. He has since offered himself up to state party leaders as something of a motivational speaker for downcast Republicans. According to the Times, behind the scenes Gibson has instructed advisers to study his options for creating a new political fund-raising entity, to help collect and spend money for Republican causes throughout the state. While the congressman said he has not yet decided how to proceed, allies say Gibson is likely to declare his intentions in less than a year. Read the full story in The New York Times.
