Press Release<\/p>\n
Turn 27 Blue proudly endorses Nate McMurray for Congress. For the first time in a generation, Democratic leaders, who normally endorse, have joined ranks with grassroots activists to make a strong endorsement in this year\u2019s congressional race. We believe that Nate has what it takes to represent the people of Western New York. His impassioned and energizing campaign is already gathering the momentum and support it needs to win in November.<\/p>\n
Nate McMurray is an experienced businessman, dedicated public servant, and Western New York native, who believes that families should have access to quality healthcare and education, that full-time work should come with a decent paycheck, and that elected representatives should represent their constituents, not their donors.<\/p>\n
Turn 27 Blue brings together voices from the county Democratic Chairs and from many of the district\u2019s dedicated activist groups. We endorse Nate because of his demonstrated ability to work across the aisle as Town Supervisor of deep red Grand Island, NY and his dedication to improving the lives of hardworking Americans. \u201cI\u2019m honored to receive the endorsement of this group of county Democratic Chairs and grassroots leaders. I\u2019m confident we are going to turn the 27th District blue, and I\u2019m eager to take this fight to Chris Collins,\u201d Nate said, in response to the news.<\/p>\n
Michelle Johnston Schoeneman, a resistance leader in the 27th and member of Turn 27 Blue, said \u201cwe were incredibly impressed with Nate\u2019s passion for Western New York, his platform for bringing jobs and prosperity to the area, and his ability to persuade people who have never voted for a Democrat that he\u2019s the person for the job.\u201d<\/p>\n
Over the past several months, Turn 27 Blue has hosted public forums, meetings, and interviews with the several talented and dedicated individuals running. \u201cFrom the start, our goal was simple: identify the best candidate to beat Chris Collins,\u201d said Judith Hunter, Chair of the Livingston County Democratic Committee, \u201cand create the best possible conditions for victory in November. Each of the five announced candidates has something to offer, and we are grateful that they volunteered to serve. We are extremely proud to conclude our process by supporting Nate McMurray for the Democratic nomination.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the candidates traversed the 27th and met residents from every county in the district, one thing was clear: \u201cfrom the pending ethics investigation against him to his decision to ignore his district in favor of his wealthy donors, people were fed up with Chris Collins and his cronies,” said Jeremy Zellner, Chair of the Erie County Democratic Committee. Chris Collins\u2019s arrogant disregard for his constituents and his support for extreme policies that directly hurt New Yorkers has remade NY-27 into a competitive district.<\/p>\n
Jamie Romeo, Chair of the Monroe County Democratic Committee added, \u201cwe urge everyone who cares more about Western New York\u2019s economy than tax cuts for the rich, who cares more about affordable healthcare for our families than favors for donors, and
\nwho cares more about a true representative of the people than a talking head who rushes onto cable news to talk about anything but the needs of his constituents, to support Nate McMurray for Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
