Associated Builders and Contractors, Empire State Chapter announced recently that it has endorsed Claudia Tenney’s candidacy for New York’s 22nd District in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Chairman Thomas Murphy said, “Assemblywoman Tenney has dedicated her time in office to being a fierce taxpayer advocate fighting the tax and spend policies that have crippled New York’s economy and made us uncompetitive. She understands the challenges that small businesses face and has shown us that she isn’t afraid to fight for policies like smaller government and lower taxes that will put money back in the hands of New Yorker’s as well as spur real, lasting job creation. We need this kind of fighter in Washington.”
President Brian Sampson said, “Claudia Tenney has proven herself to be a fighter for taxpayers, small business and free enterprise during her time in the New York State Assembly. Her calls for transparency and fairness in government are ones that we agree wholeheartedly with. As the first person to call for Sheldon Silver’s resignation, we can count on her to stand up to corruption and make decisions based on what is in the best interest of her constituents.”
