Joe Rutkowski is a Republican candidate running for the soon-to-be vacant NY-21 seat currently held by Elise Stefanik. He is a 52-year-old business owner and, rumor has it, is on the shortlist for being selected to run for the position.

In this episode of Small Town Life, Dave Warner interviews him and asks about his background, who encouraged him to run, how he plans to differentiate himself from Stefanik's legacy, and much, much more.
