ANNABLE ENDORSES COLLINS

The Collins for Congress campaign sent around the following email this afternoon...


Town of Hartland Supervisor Ross Annable has endorsed Chris Collins for New York’s 27th Congressional District.  Supervisor Annable is also the Chair of Hartland's Republican Committee.  Annable's endorsement comes as Collins continues to gain support from Republican leaders in Niagara County.  Earlier this week, Collins was endorsed by Town of Lockport Supervisor Marc Smith and the Town of Lewiston Republican Committee.
 
“I want to thank Supervisor Annable for his support and confidence in my candidacy," said Collins.  "As I work my way around the 27th Congressional District, people tell me they are worried about their children and grandchildren's ability to realize the American Dream.  That's because our leaders in Washington are failing us.  Instead of rebuilding our economy and working to create economic opportunity, Washington seems to be working against hardworking taxpayers. When I'm elected to Congress, I will fight every day to reduce the size of government, cut runaway spending, reinvigorate our economy, and protect taxpayers."     
 
A private sector leader that has created and saved hundreds of good paying, local jobs, Collins served as Erie County Executive from 2008 - 2011.  As County Executive, Collins turned around the near bankrupt county by cutting the size of government by nearly 25% and reducing the county's dept burden by more than $120 million.  Collins is running for Congress to help bring fiscal sanity to Washington, DC so we can get our country's economy moving again.
 
“Cutting spending and creating jobs are the most important issues to the residents of Hartland and all across the 27th Congressional District," said Supervisor Annable.  "Chris Collins has proven he knows how to do both and that's why I fully endorse his candidacy.  We need someone with Chris' background representing us in Congress.  Someone who can stand up to the Washington insiders who continue to waste our hard-earned tax dollars and find new ways to strangle economic growth and prosperity." 
 
Collins was also recently endorsed by the New York State Conservative Party.  Collins lives in Clarence with his wife Mary.  He has three children and three grandchildren.
