Thanks to the kids for showing us the way

Our first impulse was to write yet another letter reminding voters in New York’s 22nd Congressional District about the truly despicable representation we get from Rep. Claudia Tenney.

We were going to focus on her fawning support for all things Trump, her robotic obedience to the bidding of the Kochs and the NRA, and on her unhinged assertion that mass murderers, “end up being Democrats”. But something changed our minds.

Marching with students from Proctor and other local districts at the “March For Our Lives” gave us hope. Listening to those students and to teens all across the country talk about their passionate insistence on change reminded us how important it is to focus on positives, and on what we want from our next representative.

Assemblyman Anthony Brindisi stands for those positive values and policies. He believes in affordable health care, strengthening public education, protecting our environment, women’s rights, changing campaign finance laws, and legislating responsible gun safety. He is exactly who we want representing us in Washington.

President Bill Clinton said, “There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.” Thanks to all those kids who showed what’s right with America.
