Harper not seeking Congressional nomination

Maury Thompson of The Post-Star reports David Harper, of Saratoga Springs, dropped out of the Republican race to challenge Democratic Congressman Scott Murphy in New York’s District 20 on Friday. Harper endorsed Chris Gibson, who along with Patrick Ziegler and Dan Stec, are trying to win the Republican nomination. On Thursday the Ballston Republican Committee in Saratoga endorsed hometown candidate Patrick Ziegler, and the Warren County Republican Committee, which holds 9.4 percent of the weighted vote, endorsed Ziegler on Monday.
