Statement from Cynthia Appleton’s Campaign on the Withdrawal of James Domagalski from the 59th State Senate Race
For Immediate Release — Cynthia Appleton’s campaign said today that the race for State Senate in the 59th District remains fundamentally the same as it was yesterday, with voters having a choice between the same tired ideas that have failed the district so badly or new leadership that would bring the concerns of ordinary voters to Albany and work to fix our badly broken system.
“Nothing shows better that the Republican side is using its standard bag of tricks than this last minute, back-room maneuvering to get Mr. Domagalski off the ballot by nominating him for a judgeship he admits he doesn’t even want,” said Ms. Appleton. “This is truly politics as usual.” Noting that Republican-leaning voters will still be divided between two other candidates, Appleton continued, “I have been all over this district, meeting thousands of people in this campaign. And everywhere I go, people are looking for representation from someone who doesn’t want to become part of Albany but who wants to fix Albany. I’m not a career politician, and I’m not doing this to advance my personal interests. As a State Senator, I would make representing the 59th District my only job. The issues facing us are too important to be treated as part-time work. I will work for a property tax cap, creating jobs in this region, getting state spending under control, and bringing true ethics reform to Albany. Voters have a real choice in November.”
