the BOE filing information for 2007 listed her at 387 SPINNAKER LN WEBSTER, NY, 14580.

I checked the D&C for a real estate transaction for that address and came up empty. I also struck out when checking under her name and he husband - Robert Wiesner.

The rumors about Brooks running in NY-25 were indeed floated by Republicans. I don’t know what to make of this one.

One thing about this rumor is that either (a) being floated for some reason (to weaken Kuhl or test out a Maggie candidacy) or (b) it’s true. Either way, it’s interesting.

I’d love to know if she actually did move… she filed today actually… Maggie is basically broke with less that $40k cash on hand:

Agreed. While these are only rumors, I think the NRCC wants Maggie because of name recognition. Plus, these rumors mirror those in the 26th. The Republicans blame the Democrats, but I actually think it’s the Republicans starting these rumors to see how possible alternative candidates are received.

So first she is a consideration for the 25th (Walsh) and during her declination and the discussion that followed no one mentioned that she moved? Do we actually know where Maggie lives?

let’s not forget 2010 or beyond could be a possibility. I don’t see this happening this year.
