CENTRAL NEW YORK -- Assemblyman Robert Oaks adds his name to the race for the 25th Congressional District. The Republican candidate from Wayne County recently filed a statement of candidacy.
Oaks has already raised more than $70,000. He will challenge former Onondaga County Legislature Chairman Dale Sweetland for the nomination.
Meanwhile, Democrats are expected to endorse Dan Maffei who lost to longtime Congressman James Walsh in 2006. Walsh is retiring in November.
