Matthew Doheny, in a bold and decisive move, sent this statement over to newzjunky.com today in response to Assemblyman Will Barclay's campaign announcement. It appears as if Doheny is making an early move to parlay his economic background into an organized campaign focused primarily on job creation and standing up against special interests in Washington. Here is his statement:
With the nation attempting to rebound from the worst recession in generations, unemployment which continues to rise nationally and in New York, and a federal government that is running of trillions of dollars in red ink, the time for bold ideas and bold leadership is now.
Republicans in the 23rd District should have a wide range of candidates in which to choose who will represent them in next November's Congressional elections. When all is said and done, I believe that they will choose the candidate who best understands the economy, knows how to create jobs and will stand up to the special interests in Washington to stop the red ink.
It sounds like there are two very committed candidates solidly in the race for NY-23. Newzjunky.com describes the response as: "Matt Doheny Fires Back..." but it may be a wise move to turn the spotlight away from the candidate of the day. Will others formally join the fold soon?
