Assemblywomen Claudia Tenney, businessman Steven Wells, and history teacher George Phillips all hoping to earn the Republican nomination, and represent the 22nd Congressional District.
In the end, it was Tenney who got the majority of the votes, but it was a victory several months in the making, and it wasn't always pretty.
"I know this has been a tough presidential year, but this campaign was really brutal on a lot of voters,” Tenney said.
I haven't seen a post primary article on this.

This is good because even if Tenney beat the now-retiring Hanna in 2014, Hanna would have automatically been put on another party's ticket and enough dems would have retained Hanna.
It is a good sign to see Tenney successful, as she is a committed Conservative, and has already worked hard for her candidacy .
Furthermore , she comes highly reccomended by the most Conservative member of the N Y state House.
Good on Ya !
She’ll lose. Blue district.
She’s hot enough.
WRONG.
Romney and McCain narrowly carried the district. That means for NY it’s a Republican district. If Trump is truly gonna do better than normal in NY then he’s gonna carry it too.
Politics 1 posted 2 polls from this race, one by the DCCC showing it tied and one from the NRCC with Tenney up 5.
Both showed Reform Party (and his own “Upstate Jobs Party”) nominee Martin Babinec, whose existence I was not aware of, with over 20%.
Who is backing him, RINOs?
I can’t reference to the Independence party backing anyone, which is odd.
“..one by the DCCC showing it tied and one from the NRCC with Tenney up 5. ..”
Very hopeful. Thanks for the update.
