I lived in Niagara County for a year recently (and Louise was my congress-person there as she in in Fairport -- go figure!) My impression was the Maziarz was well known and well liked. There's a good article about Maziarz and other possible Repub options to run for Reynolds' seat <a href="http://www.niagarafallsreporter.com/cover3.25.08.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I don't think Demler is the guy. Outside of Wheatfield he's got little recognition, and has already lost a state-wide office once (Assembly in 2002 to DelMonte). I’m glad Maziarz is not in.

Although there are other elected officials seemingly waiting in the (right) wings, making up their minds, this race is looking better all the time.
