NY-23: Owens reacts to Doheny win, Hoffman decision

Here’s a statement released by Rep. Bill Owens (D-Plattsburgh) a short time ago.

“With the general election ballot now set, Upstate New York voters face a clear choice this November.  I have fought hard for tax breaks for rural businesses that create jobs here at home, support strengthening Social Security for current and future generations, and want to move our economy forward.

“Both of my opponents take a different approach that doesn’t serve as a plan to move our communities forward. They both support tax breaks for companies that outsource American jobs overseas, support privatizing Social Security which will put the benefits guaranteed to our seniors at risk, and want a return to the failed economic policies of the past that got us into this mess in the first place.  This is a change working families can’t afford.

“Despite our current economic troubles, and the many challenges facing Upstate and Central New York communities, I remain optimistic about our future, and I am confident that together we will be able to keep the American Dream alive for future generations.”
