Bill Owens, the WFP nominee for Congress in NY-23
NEW YORK – Today, the New York Working Families Party announced its endorsement of candidate Bill Owens in the special election for New York’s 23rd Congressional District.
Rick Oppedisano, Co-Chair of the Central New York Working Families Chapter, offered the following statement about the endorsement:
“In this economic crisis, the North Country needs a champion in Congress who will put people before politics.
Bill Owens knows how to create jobs because he has already helped bring more than 2,000 of them to upstate New York. And when it comes to stopping the outsourcing of work, he’s gone above and beyond by pushing to expand promising new green industries and working to bring economic opportunities back into the U.S. from Canada.
As a military veteran and a proven job-creator, we know Bill Owens will put the interests of local working families first.”
