With the announcement that Erie County Democrats have endorsed Jon Powers for Congress, Powers’ campaign released the following statement today (emphasis mine):

“I am thrilled to have the endorsement of Erie County Democrats and look forward to bringing real leadership and real solutions to the problems facing working families in Western New York,” said Jon Powers, former captain in the U.S. Army, Iraq war veteran and Democratic candidate for Congress. Powers earned the support of all seven counties solidifying his position as the endorsed Democratic candidate. He has also gained a great deal of support from organization labor in the area.

“Jon Powers is running an incredibly effective grassroots campaign and he represents a new generation of leadership that people are hoping for in this country” stated Len Lenihan, Erie County Democratic Chairman.

This endorsement gives Powers all seven counties and points to the strength of his campaign, which is based on conversations with voters and their interests as opposed to money.
