Calls her a principled leader who would put New Yorkers First
New York, NY — Congressman Chris Gibson today issued an endorsement
of Wendy Long in her campaign for U.S. Senate. Congressman Gibson
represents the 19th Congressional District, which covers all or part of 11
counties in the Capital District/Hudson Valley area.
Congressman Gibson issued the following statement with his endorsement:
“Wendy Long is a principled leader who would do an excellent job
representing New York. She’s the type of leader we need in Washington -
someone who is willing to fight for what is right and always put New Yorkers
first in everything she does.
“Wendy would continue to champion a number of the causes that I have
worked hard on in Congress, bringing the voices of her constituents to the
Senate. Wendy is against onerous, high-stakes testing and the Common
Core regime and would work for policies that would help our small business
and family farms across New York State thrive.
“Importantly, she believes in term limits - as do I - which would help fight
corruption and put an end to career politicians. Wendy deserves to
represent New York State in the Senate, and I urge all New Yorkers to join
with me in voting for Wendy on Election Day.”
Wendy Long stated: “Congressman Gibson is the kind of legislator I would
like to emulate. He has a heart to serve his country, state, and fellow citizens
— not to turn that service into personal gain or influence peddling. He
understands and loves our Constitution and self-government enough to walk
away in the example of a true citizen legislator. I thank him for his vote of
confidence, for his military and legislative service to our great nation, and
will do everything I can to be worthy of it.”
