 Dede Scozzafava, a current member of the New York State Assembly elected in 1998, was a Republican candidate for Congress in a 2009 special election in New York State, who threw her support to the Democratic and candidate and withdrew rather than support the candidate of the New York Conservative Party and local Tea Party activists. The events have seen as an example of "purity tests" for conservative ideology among Republican candidates. Scozzafava has emphasized bipartisanship and "rising above politics". [1] Michelle Malkin called her a liar and "radical leftist". [2] Dana Loesch claims credit for taking Scozzafava out of the running. [3] Bill Owens, the Democrat, won the election. [4] Previously, she served four years as a Village of Gouverneur Trustee and was Mayor of the Village of Gouverneur from 1993 until her election to the Assembly. In the Assembly, Scozzafava serves on the committees on Banks; Ethics and Guidance; Rules; and Ways and Means. She is also the ranking minority member on the Energy Committee. References
