Oswego, NY – When longtime republican Congressman Jim Walsh decided to not run for re-election, several names surfaced as possible successors.
Now, the race is down to just two candidates. Republican Randy Wolken, who is the president of the Manufacturer's Association of Central New York, dropped out of the race. Wolken says republicans should unite behind one candidate.

WRVO's Jason Smith spoke with Wolken about his decision.
