Erie County Democratic Committee Endorses Stachowski,
Thompson and DiNapoli, Urges Cuomo To Run
(February 27, 2010) The Erie County Democratic Committee issued endorsements in several key races this morning. Senators William Stachowski and Antoine Thompson received the committee’s backing, as did New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli.
The committee also urged Attorney General Andrew Cuomo to run for Governor.
“We believe that Andrew Cuomo is the best candidate to represent the Democratic Party this November,” said Erie County Democratic Chairman Len Lenihan. “He has stood up for the people of New York time and again, rooting out corruption in Albany and Wall Street and fighting hard for the average person.”
Senator William Stachowski is a tireless advocate for Western New York. Over the past two years he has acquired millions for education, job creation and funding for local police and fire departments. He continued his long fight for local veterans by securing $500,000 for Horizon Health Services. Senator Stachowski sponsored “UB 2020” - which would help stimulate the Western New York economy by increasing UB's economic impact on Western New York from $1.7 billion to $3.6 billion annually and create well over 10,000 jobs.
Chairman Lenihan praised Senator Stachowski’s work ethic on behalf of Western New Yorkers, “He is a work-horse, not a show-horse. He isn’t interested in grabbing headlines or chasing after the latest fad. He serves the people of his district well by showing up every day working hard. His record of accomplishment speaks for itself.”
Senator Thompson represents parts of Erie & Niagara Counties, which include the Cities of Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Tonawanda, and the Town of Grand Island. He is Chair of the Environmental Conservation Committee. His goal of bringing “Green Jobs” home to Western New York was bolstered by the Senate’s recent passage an Environmental Package.
As Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli has instituted tough new ethics rules and dedicated himself to bringing greater openness to the public. He has provided new opportunities for New York’s entrepreneurs and made investment in New York State companies a priority. |
