Dede Scozzafava loses post

Dede Scozzafava, the GOP nominee who dropped out to endorse Democrat Bill Owens in New York’s special election, resigned from her spot in the state’s Assembly leadership Monday.

After hearing complaints from his members about Scozzafava, Assembly Minority Leader Brain Kolb met with the former congressional candidate to discuss her post.

Following the meeting, Kolb announced that Scozzafava would no longer serve in the Republican leadership.

“Today, I had a thorough and frank discussion with Assemblywoman Scozzafava,” Kolb said in a statement. “As a result, Dede has tendered, and I accepted, her resignation as our conference’s leader pro tempore. Over the coming weeks, I will be assessing who will serve as our conference’s next leader pro tempore to lead our Assembly floor debate.”
