Cappucilli out in NY-25

From the Post-Standard:

Syracuse, NY - Peter Cappuccilli Jr., the Republican candidate seeking Rep. Jim Walsh’s seat in Congress, withdrew from the race today.

The decision came after doctors warned Cappuccilli, 57, about his health, said his campaign spokesman, Kurt Stroman. Cappuccilli recently experienced medical symptons similar to those that accompany a transient ischemic attack, or mini-stroke, Stroman said.

[...]

Cappuccilli suffered a mini-stroke last year, according to the statement. He is undergoing testing at a hospital in West Palm Beach, Fla., where he was visiting family.

We may not agree with Mr. Cappucilli’s politically, but we wish him the best of luck with his health.

Unless I’ve missed something, this means that there is no Republican candidate yet in NY-25.
