Ken Lovett is reporting in the Daily News outgoing U.S. Rep. John Faso is rumored to be a possible replacement for state Republican Party Chairman Ed Cox, following a disastrous Election Day for the GOP. However, Cox recently told the Daily News he intends to serve until his term expires and then run for re-election in September. Party insiders say they believe Faso would be interested. When asked, the one-term Congressman did not necessarily rule out the possibility, but said he has not given the idea any thought as he is focused on his final weeks in Congress. Faso declined to discuss any ideas he might have about what the state GOP needs to do going forward. He is the former state Assembly minority leader and unsuccessful candidate for governor and state controller. In November, Faso lost to Democrat Antonio Delgado. Other candidates for the party's top spot include Erie County Chairman Nicholas Langworthy and Suffolk County's John Ja LaValle. Read the full story in the [New York] Daily News.
