Yates County Chair responds to Nachbar interview
Does money buy a congressional seat, or does hard-earned grassroots support choose a candidate and elect him to office?
Remember - the Nachbar interview in the City Newspaper? If not check out these posts here or here or the comments in this post. Yates County Chair Carolyn Schaeffer responds and it isn’t kind.
Much of the letter covers familiar ground to regular readers of this blog.
Nachbars’ position that endorsements are “silly”
His statement “The other candidates are government employees and have been that way. ”
However, this caught my eye
Here in Yates County, we arranged two meetings at mutually agreed-upon times, although both times as the date approached, he was unable to join us. I believe it is Mr. Nachbar who shows no respect for the democratic process.
At the Brighton Meeting. Mr Nachbar was asked about meeting with other committees and specifically called out 2 incidences where he couldn’t make it to committee meeting for work or family comittments. OK - maybe these are those two incidences. Maybe but I believe there are more than two incidences of being unable/unwilling to attend a committee meeting - any other committees want to chime in?
Still this is the point of Carolyn’s letter
Does money buy a congressional seat, or does hard-earned grassroots support choose a candidate and elect him to office?
Ask yourself this as Massa racks up the endorsements of all the towns in Monroe county as well as many of the 29th counties.
Sounds like the people who represent the grassroots, the campaign foot soldiers, the voters in their district - are lining up, preparing to hire the guy who they believe can best get the job done in the 29th. That being getting someone who can defeat Randy Kuhl.
