As the election nears on May 24, the race is heating up to fill the 26th Congressional District seat vacated by Republican Chris Lee.
Here is the latest in the race:
•Tea Party Express came to the Rotary Lodge Greece Canal Park today to endorse candidate Jane Corwin. According to the group, candidate Jack Davis is listed under “Tea Party” on the ballot, but “his political past reveals him as a liberal Democrat with a history of supporting higher taxes, ObamaCare, cap and trade legislation, contributing many thousands of dollars to far-left Democrat candidates, as well as endorsing Barack Obama for president.”
•U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer has endorsed candidate Kathy Hochul. Schumer said he accredited the endorsement to Hochul’s strong ties to Western New York, her plan to help small businesses create jobs and her fight to protect Medicare.
•Corwin has recently joined over 70 currently-elected Senators and Congressmen nationwide to sign the “Contract from America,” a Main Street, Tea Party-driven legislative blueprint for 2011 and beyond.
“For too long, Washington politicians have failed to take the lead on cutting spending and reforming our tax system,” said Corwin. “As someone who has helped run a small family business, I will fight to cut spending and reduce taxes so we can strengthen our economy and create good-paying jobs.”
•Veteran David Bellavia has announced that Florida veterans have launched a website, www.WheresMallia.com, to find Michael Mallia, the chief of staff to Corwin, who Bellavia said is “wanted by the military veterans of Western New York for disrupting our meeting last week, mocking a moment of silence for combat casualties, attacking a 78-year-old Marine and working on a political campaign while being paid by New York state taxpayers.”
According to Bellavia, Mallia is currently in Florida, and the group of veterans has offered a $5,000 reward to anyone who finds Mallia and helps organize a media interview before the May 24 election.
