Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hamburg, NY.\/ February 17, 2020.\u00a0 Duane Whitmer, the Libertarian Party candidate for Congress in the 27th<\/sup> District of New York, today accepted Democrat Nate McMurray\u2019s invitation to Chris Jacobs to debate McMurray eight times during the election.\u00a0 So far, Jacobs has ignored the invitation eight times.\u00a0 \u201cChris may be afraid to debate Nate,\u201d Whitmer said, \u201cbut Nate is apparently also afraid to debate me as he left me out of the invite.\u00a0 So, I hereby accept Nate\u2019s invitation to Chris to debate Nate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whitmer, who is the chair of the Erie County Libertarian Party, received the endorsement from the district county chairs of the  Libertarian Party last night and is also petitioning to be on the Right to Bear Arms ballot line for both the special election on April 28th<\/sup> and the general election in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will really spice up this debate that would otherwise feature two corporate lawyers affiliated with Delaware North who are political centrists,\u201d said Whitmer.  \u201cWithout a candidate who proposes real change for the 80 percent of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, the audience could very well fall asleep from sheer boredom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whitmer, who is a tax adviser who represents taxpayers before the IRS, said his key issues if nominated would be ending the twin wars on peaceful gun owners and drug owners, ending the pointless foreign undeclared wars started by George W. Bush and Barack Obama and drastically cutting federal spending to stop borrowing from our grandchildren to pay for our own greedy programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whitmer, who ran track at Fredonia State, is originally from Franklinville and now lives and works in Lake View.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
