Randy Kuhl - Post-congressional Career

Post-congressional Career

Kuhl allowed his campaign Web site to expire, posted no updates on his social networking sites, and granted virtually no interviews after his concession.

In March 2010, after Massa announced he was dropping out of his re-election bid, Kuhl issued a statement, his first since conceding:

"Tonight all of the 29th Congressional District will have Eric Massa and his family in their hearts and prayers. His reoccurrence of cancer is devastating and I wish him a full recovery. I know firsthand that Eric is a fighter and I have full confidence that he will beat cancer once again. I have received numerous calls and emails today regarding my political future and I truly appreciate all of those who believed in me and supported me during my 28 years of public service. I will address any political decisions in the future but right now it is important for Eric to get the treatment that he needs to recover."

Since that time, Kuhl has become more public and has been issuing more public statements and granting interviews to local radio station WLEA, primarily about the Massa situation. He was considering entering the special election for the vacant seat, but passed on it, endorsing former Corning mayor Tom Reed.
