Another person has entered the race for the vacant 29th Congressional District seat.
Janice Volk of Cuba is vying for the Republican Party's nomination.
In a statement she released, Volk claims to be one of the people, not a typical politician.
"I will not be like so many of the typical, business as usual, fat cat, tax and spend - try to buy your votes with your own money - politicians. I can promise that if the people of the 29th District put their sacred trust in me, I won't squander it. I won't let you down," Volk said in a release.
The Republican field is growing crowded, as Tom Reed of Corning announced his candidacy last summer, and Monroe County pizzeria owner Angelo Campini entered the race in April.
The Democratic field is less crowded, as Matthew Zeller has been selected by county party chairs for a special election, and no other candidate has come forward seeking the party's nomination.
Eric Massa resigned from Congress on March 8.
Gov. David Paterson announced he plans to hold a special election for the vacant seat on Nov. 2, the same day as the primary. A lawsuit to change the date is still being decided upon by Judge David Larimer in federal court in Rochester.
