New York State Assemblyman and candidate for New York’s 18th Congressional District Colin Schmitt has received the endorsement of former Congresswoman Sue Kelly. She served the Hudson Valley in the U.S. House of Representatives for six terms over a 12-year period from 1995 to 2007:
“Assemblyman Colin Schmitt is a thoughtful, hard-working, proven bipartisan leader in the Hudson Valley,” Kelly stated. “Now more than ever, this is the kind of leadership our District needs. Colin will actually show up to vote on the House floor. He will be home in the district often to listen carefully to our needs. As the former U.S. Congresswoman of much of his district, I’ve seen how Colin’s pragmatic hard work will serve us well in Congress. I heartily endorse him and ask you to be sure to vote for him.”
Schmitt stated, ““I am honored to have the support of former Congresswoman Sue Kelly. She knows firsthand the kind of leadership that’s needed for the Hudson Valley in Washington and I thank her for her endorsement and belief in my tracking record of working across the aisle to deliver real results for the Hudson Valley. Now more than ever, we need proven bipartisan leaders to restore checks and balances in our nation’s capital.”
