Myers: The candidate to get the job done<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In a growing sign of support and momentum for Kim Myers, New York Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand announced their endorsement today of Kim Myers, candidate for Congress in New York\u2019s 22nd district.<\/p>\n

\u201cKim\u2019s commitment to her community has been clear in her years of service on her local school board, on the county legislature, and as a volunteer working on important causes in upstate New York. She\u2019s someone who shows up to get the job done and we need more people like that in Congress. I am pleased to offer my strong endorsement to her campaign,\u201d said Schumer.<\/p>\n

Gillibrand added, \u201cKim understands the opportunities that we have for growth in the region, from protecting and supporting our farmers to advocating for small business. She is the right choice for voters who want someone who knows how to work across the aisle and solve problems for her constituents. I am proud to endorse her campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am honored to have the support of New York\u2019s two great Senators and I thank Senator Schumer and Senator Gillibrand for their support.\u00a0I look forward to partnering with them in Congress to deliver on the issues that affect Central New York: creating good-paying jobs, protecting our agriculture, and preserving Social Security and Medicare,\u201d said Myers.<\/p>\n

The 22nd Congressional district encompasses a large part of central New York, including the major population centers of Utica and Binghamton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
