Tom Reed Wins Massa's Seat

The Republican takeover of the House of Representatives extended to the 29th Congressional District seat in New York, vacated by Eric Massa.

Former Corning mayor Tom Reed beat out Democrat Matt Zeller.

Massa held the seat until he resigned March 8 under allegations of sexual harassment. The seat remained empty through the year, with Gov. David Paterson choosing not to hold a special election until Tuesday.

The 29th District occupies much of the Southern Tier, including Cattaraugus and Allegany counties.
