I have no real reason to believe this, but there’s an interesting rumor I’m hearing from NY-25. The rumor is that Walsh will retire and Onondaga County DA William Fitzpatrick will run in his stead. There’s a precedent for this: in 1986, Wortley (the Republican who held the seat then) was almost beaten by Rosemary Pooler, then ran for a year (as Walsh has done) before dropping out of the race in 87. Then Walsh ran and ended up winning.
