Oswego County Clerk Mike Backus said he will not pursue the Republican nomination for the 22nd District after discussing with his wife at a Syracuse basketball game.

New Yorkers react to Cruz New York values remark
New Yorkers lambasted Ted Cruz after he derided what he called Donald Trump's New York values. The Daily News ran a front page illustration of the Statue of Liberty giving Cruz the finger with the banner Drop Dead Ted. People defended New York's diversity and openness while some noted a historical anti Semitic undertone in the phrase. Trump praised New York's resilience after 9 11, calling Cruz's remark insulting.
