Ecomomy, Debate and More

The economy is on the minds of Northern New Yorkers. Walking door-to-door, talking with folks from all over the district, has brought up many good questions about where our country, state, and localities are headed. This is going to be my focus if I get the opportunity to represent the River District in Albany. Last Wednesday I had the opportunity to address this issue in a candidate forum at the Northside Improvement League in Watertown, hosted by AAUW. John Deans did a fantastic job of moderating the debate, asking the questions that were on the minds of North Country residents. Issues ranged from renewable energy and the need to keep more of the energy created in the North Country local in order to power homes and businesses, reducing taxes, and creating jobs. I thank the other candidates for participating in this forum and look forward to addressing the issues with them again tonight at Snell Hall on the Clarkson University Campus in Potsdam.

See you somewhere along the campaign trail.
