February 10th, 2008

Campaign now holds majority of county endorsements in district

Wyoming County Democrats have answered the call for a change in leadership in New York's 26th Congressional District. Last night, by an overwhelming majority, the Wyoming Democratic Committee endorsed Jon Powers' campaign for Congress. Powers is running against embattled representative Tom Reynolds.

"I am thrilled to have the support of Wyoming County Democrats. My family has deep roots here, my father was born and raised in Pearl Creek, and it means a lot to me to have their endorsement," said Jon Powers, former captain in the U.S. Army, Iraq war veteran and Democratic candidate for Congress.

Wyoming is the 4th Democratic Committee to endorse Powers' candidacy and shows that Jon's message of leading by example and putting problem-solving ahead of party politics is resonating with the voters. Powers now holds the endorsement of the majority of the counties in his district.
