Press Release: Dan Ward Prepared to Fight For The 61st District
August 6, 2008 4:39 pm
Michele Iannello may have Lackawanna duo Fran Warthing and Mark Poloncarz singing her praises and getting her money, while the New York City Democratic establishment of Malcolm Smith and Jeff Klein throw thousands of dollars at Joe Mesi, their new found supporter, I’ll rely on the voters who actually live and work in the 61st Senate District.
My name is Dan Ward and those who know me know I have a history of stepping up to the plate for them when there is a problem. I don’t just gratuitously chant “I’ll fight for you.” I actually have the political scars that prove I’ve fought for and continue to fight you and your communities.
My opponents talk. They use the words of others. They have ideas. They are the ideas of others. I have no one coaching me and telling me what to say, think and do.
I am the descendant of a family that settled in the Amherst/Tonawanda area back in 1824. Because of my family heritage, my first loyalty is to this area, my constituents, my neighbors, and my family, not Lackawanna, not New York City, and certainly not Albany.
I’m not beholding to anyone. I owe no one. I’ve not promised anything to anybody. I’m not afraid of big words or big problems. I have the education and the ability to deal with the intense pressures of the capitol without some sponsor holding my hand. I’ll vote the interest of the 61st Senate District, not Albany and New York City.
I look forward to a debate with my opponents. I fully expect to be the real candidate for change that shows up in Albany next January.
