To the Editor:We have three Republican candidates vying to represent us in the 22nd district. Two are lawyers, and George Phillips is a history teacher and dean of students in a Binghamton-area private high school. Lawyer and current State Representative Claudia Tenney has a record of missing more than 400 votes in Albany and stated she did not take out a legal suit against George Phillips; however, court transcripts state otherwise.
Lawyer Steve Wells appears to be a RINO (Republican In Name Only) having given Gov. Andrew Cuomo more than $10,000 in campaign support. We need honesty and integrity in Washington, not those who pay to play and refute court records.
George Phillips will bring to Washington a deep understanding of our Democratic principles and a wealth of Upstate common sense. He has pulled together a well-founded plan to bring back jobs to upstate NY. He strongly defends our right to bear arms and is an advocate for our nation’s veterans. Your vote for George Phillips June 28 will ensure that we will have a man of high moral standards in Washington representing us.
