The Republican officials chose Assemblywoman Jane Corwin, who also garnered the support of The Conservative Party of New York.

The New York Federalist Party submitted the legal number of signatures to place David Bellavia on the ballot in New York State but a potential challenge to the party’s signatures by Republican Jane Corwin resulted in the Federalist Party with drawing David Bellavia from the race with his approval. Jane Corwin received the Republican nomination not through a primary but by being selected by GOP County Chairmen in Western New York.
During the Special election in New York's 26th congressional district in 2011 the Democratic Party was represented by Kathy Hochul, the Republican Party by Jane Corwin and the Tea Party by Jack Davis. Jane Corwin, a self-funding candidate who received early support from the Republican Party chairmen but Bellavia continued to seek the endorsement of the party chairmen. During this period, Bellavia - a Medal of Honor nominee - was threatened by forces in New York politics.
During the 20011 Special Election to replace Chris Lee, Bellavia and the Federalist Party endorsed Jack Davis of the Tea Party. The resulting support for Davis by Bellavia who promoted Davis’ Anti- Free Trade agenda and concern for veterans. After one veterans’ event hosted by Bellavia, Jack Davis was attacked by Jane Corwin ’s Chief of Staff. The resulting film became a viral video an the race in New York's 26th congressional district became a national story. Corwin lost to Hochul as a result of this incident.

He ran as a self-financed independent—Tea Party candidate against Republican State Assemblywoman Jane Corwin, Democrat Erie County Clerk Kathy Hochul, and Green Party nominee satirist Ian Murphy.
