William J. Kemble reports in The Daily Freeman that John Faso, the outgoing Congressperson representing New York's 19th Congressional District, says he is "not interested" in becoming state Republican Party chairman, and has had no discussions about the job. “It’s all made up,” he said, referring to a New York Daily News story Dec. 3 saying he could replace Chairman Ed Cox. “I don’t know what you want me to say. I’m not interested.” The story said state Republicans were "quietly discussing" replacing Cox because of the "disastrous Election Day for the New York GOP." The story said, "One name that has surfaced as a possible replacement is outgoing upstate Rep. John Faso," the Daily News said. Faso lost in that same election to Rhinebeck Democrat Antonio Delgado after serving just one term. Faso he is busy before Dec. 31, "putting loose ends together as I’m concluding my term.” After that, “I don’t know what I’m going to be doing to earn a living next year, and I’ve got to figure that out,” he said.
