JACK QUINN GAINS SUPPORT OF GOVERNMENT REFORM ADVOCACY GROUPS
Quinn labeled as “Hero of Reform” by Bipartisan Reform Group

             (HAMBURG) – Assemblyman Jack Quinn, Republican candidate for the 58th State Senate District, today announced that two government reform advocacy groups are supporting his candidacy. The reform groups include NY Uprising and Tea New York.

             “I am honored to be recognized as a ‘Hero of Reform’ by NY Uprising. It was an easy decision for me to support the reform measures proposed by this bipartisan group. I share many of their reform goals in my Five Point Plan for New York State. NY Uprising wants to take the politics out of state government, which is something that is desperately needed in Albany. At the end of the day, I will always be supportive of the reform measures that have the best interests of Western New York in mind,” said Quinn.

               New York Uprising is a non-partisan, independent coalition formed by former New York City Mayor Edward Koch that advocates for meaningful government reform across New York State. Their mission is to put an end to corruption in Albany and reinstate the public’s faith in government by offering real, honest and sensible solutions that legislators and candidates can implement, adhere to and be held accountable for executing once elected or re-elected to office.

            Quinn also received the support of Tea New York, which is a Western New York based grassroots organization. Their primary objective aims to achieve government reform, fiscal responsibility, smaller government, and a free market economy.

            “I am honored to have the support of Tea New York. We certainly share in the same frustration on how our state government operates. Together, we will work to take Albany to task on their reckless spending and constant reiterations that they are out of touch with everyday families. We will fight to cap state spending and taxes, and create private sector jobs. We will also bring much-needed reform to our pension system, ethics laws and to Medicaid,” said Quinn.

            “My campaign is built on grassroots support from government reform organizations like NY Uprising and Tea New York. I welcome them to our campaign team and look forward to exchanging ideas on how to get Western New York back on track.”
