Friends,

I just wanted to send a quick note to give you a campaign update. In the past two weeks, our campaign to create a new brand of independent leadership in Western New York has earned us a lot of attention.

Last week, we rolled out our plan to provide complete full funding for the Veterans Administration because our troops health should not be a bargaining chip. Additionally, I called for an expansion to our VA facilities to help treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and prevent military suicides. You can read the complete plan online by clicking here. I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.

Then yesterday, I received endorsements from a number of community leaders in our district - Democrats and Republicans alike. This election is too important for partisan bickering, and that is why lifelong Republican and former Commander of the Army's 1st Infantry Division (the Big Red One) Major General John Batiste (ret.) endorsed our campaign for Congress. We also received the endorsement of Mr. Sherman Moreland, a former chairman of the Horseheads Republican Committee and member of the Chemung County Republican Executive Committee. I also received the endorsement of Mayor Shawn Hogan, a man who has spent over 20 years serving the community as an independent voice. You can read this in an article from our hometown newspaper, the Corning Leader, by clicking here, or you can watch the story on WENY TV.

Thank you and as always please feel free to contact me at anytime by clicking the "Contact Eric" button below.

Sincerely,
 
Eric Massa
Commander US Navy (ret.)
Congressional Candidate, NY-29
