Letter from JoAnn Gardner

Vote Josh Riley for Congress

The 2022 midterm elections are upon us and once again we need to sift through the news and all of the flyers we receive in the mail to figure out who to vote for.

In the 19th Congressional District, I have learned that Josh Riley supports the CHIPS and Science Act that was responsible for bringing the multi-billion dollar chip plant to the Syracuse area. This is a game changer for families who watch their kids graduate and move out of the area in search of good paying jobs.

I have also learned that Josh Riley believes in women’s reproductive rights and that when he graduated from Harvard Law School he took a job with the American Academy of Pediatrics on behalf of low-income children who could not access their healthcare.

I have not learned much about Josh Riley’s opponent Marc Molinaro other than his team is lousy at Photoshop and good at misleading accusations and claims about Mr. Riley’s background and views. I had to put on my reading glasses to see the tiny little footnotes.
