Its been almost one year since my opponent received $1.18 million from NY State to help pay for the restoration of the Bath, NY Masonic temple - which he co-owns. I decided on a recent visit to Bath to check out the site and see how our tax dollars have been put to use. What I found was a building that continues to sit in disarray and in serious need of restoration. In short, nothing seems to have changed. So, what have you done with our money Tom?
As this campaign has gone on longer, its become clear that my opponent is only out for himself. He all too willingly accepted cash from NY when it benefited him, but when it came time to accept federal recovery funds that would be used to put people back to work in Corning, he voted against accepting the funds. That is not who we need as our next representative.
If that wasn't bad enough, he recently signed a pledge to reward companies that outsource American jobs with tax breaks.
My opponent represents the very reason why people have become so disillusioned with our political process - he looks out for himself and the special interests who bankroll his campaign at the expense of everyone else.
Enough is enough! I ask that you join my team and help send me to Washington so that I can deliver the following message: We The People demand a government of the people, by the people, that actually works FOR the people!
As your next Representative, I promise that my door will always be open, I'll always be honest with my position on issues, I'll vote on behalf of my constituents, I'll never sell out to special interests, and I'll always put my constituents needs before my own.
As a leader in the Army I learned to take care of those around you before yourself, set the example so that others will follow, and always do what's right. That's the kind of leadership our country needs to restore our honor, prosperity, and integrity. With your help, we can make our country as great as we know we can.
