From the Buffalo News:
Rick Lazio has looked westward for a running mate, choosing Chautauqua County Executive Greg Edwards as his candidate for lieutenant governor should he win the Republican gubernatorial nomination.
A Lazio source said this afternoon the campaign has settled on the second-term county leader as a “perfect fit; someone who is smart and committed to economic development, especially upstate.”
“He’s uniquely qualified to be lieutenant governor,” the source said. “We’ve seen a parade of people who haven’t been up to the job of serving in higher office, and New Yorkers can trust that in Greg Edwards — they have someone who is.”
