Thank you!

We did it! I wanted to thank you and everyone for their support and hard work throughout this campaign. Without your all-hands-on-deck enthusiasm we wouldn’t have stood a chance in standing up to the more than $1.3 million spent against us. Every phone call and door knock made a real difference. I am also grateful for the financial support my campaign received from so many people.

An upstate New York man has finally received the medals he earned for his bravery on a Vietnamese river more than 40 years ago.
