Now the field of candidates running for the Republican nomination for governor is down to two. Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb abruptly dropped his bid for the Republican nomination for governor on Friday, explaining that he wants to spend more time with his family. State Sen. John DeFrancisco, D-DeWitt, and Joel Giambra, the former Erie County executive are the only candidates in the running for an opportunity to challenge Democratic incumbent Andrew Cuomo.
