Brian Higgins Speaks To His People
Dear Friends:When speaking with constituents every day, I speak of my desire to work to revitalize our regional economy – to help Buffalo and Western New York take on a new look and feel.
My vision of Buffalo and Western New York is, among many other things, a region with the self-confidence to believe that we can be successful again. In the thirty-eight months since I first took office, I have worked every day to make my vision of our region a reality. Today, we’re seeing that come to fruition.
In 2005, the Inner Harbor of Buffalo looked like a construction site that had been abandoned; today, the historic terminus of the Erie Canal and the surrounding area are nearing their opening for public enjoyment. Back then, Buffalo’s Outer Harbor had seen a few successes but continued to struggle; today, construction is underway on a $55 million Outer Harbor parkway project and an adjacent $14.5 million greenbelt project is underway on the Outer Harbor. Today, Buffalo is closer to being a great waterfront city than it has in five decades. There are similar stories throughout Western New York: from infrastructure improvements in the town of Eden and the village of Hamburg to economic development projects in Dunkirk and Jamestown, our region is turning the corner.
These successes are the result of the hard work of dozens of fellow elected and government officials throughout our region, regardless of party affiliation, both in Erie and Chautauqua
Counties . The common denominator in this effort, frankly, is you; you and your support of our efforts. I have been greatly honored and, indeed, humbled by the very substantial support you have shown me over the past three and one-quarter years. I hope that I can continue to count on your support this November.
To that end, March 31 is the end of the first-quarter fundraising period. To have the best possible fundraising totals for this quarter, I am asking that you consider making a secure online donation to “Higgins for Congress,” by visiting our website at www.higginsforcongress.com and clicking the “Contribute” button. Should you wish to make your donation by US mail, you may do so to PO Box 28, Buffalo, NY 14220. Again, if your donation can be made by March 31, this is very helpful to enhance our first-quarter totals.
Once again, many thanks for your continued support for our efforts. Please accept my best wishes for a happy and safe 2008.
Very truly yours,
