Jon Powers: Boots on the ground

This past Saturday Jon Powers, candidate for Congress in NY-26, canvassed Monroe County in the GreecePhoto courtesy Michael Parks. area, getting out and talking to voters face-to-face for several hours. Powers, a down to earth, affable kind of guy, wore his combat boots to remind him of why he’s doing this. An Army veteran who served in Iraq, Powers returned to Iraq once his tour was completed to begin War Kids Relief, an organization that seeks to help Iraqi children in need before they become the next generation of terrorists. It’s this type of direct, people-oriented problem-solving for which Powers is becoming known.

Powers’ campaign has also taken a direct, grassroots approach, going door-to-door in the district, holding conference calls with supporters, and holding house parties, among other people-centered activities. In essence, Jon Powers’ philosophy seems to be “Boots on the ground.”

    Boots on the ground, feet on the street, Jon Powers is working very hard to earn this nomination and win this election. He gets it. He understands that person by person, vote by vote, we can take this country back. Let’s help him!

    Here, here for Powers for Congress!!! One candidate who actually get’s what the voters want… because he listens to what they want!!!

    I respect the business ability of Jack Davis and of Chris Lee (although Lee’s family sold out to a foreign owned company and lost a lot of jobs for WNY’ers) but they just don’t get it when it comes to every day American’s.

    Go Powers!!
