Democratic Candidate Hopes To Represent NY-15 in Congress
NEW YORK, NY (August 2, 2010) — The Morgan4Congress campaign team has succeeded in getting their candidate, Vincent Morgan, on the Democratic ballot for the September 14th primary. That means constituents of New York’s 15th Congressional District will have the opportunity to promote a new voice in Congress when they cast their votes.
The team submitted several thousand signatures in excess of the 1,250 which are legally mandated by election law. Morgan campaign manager, Jason-Michael Greene, said “Our success in the petition drive shows that voters in NY-15 are hungry for change and want effective representation that speaks to the ever-evolving dynamics of New York’s most vibrant and multi-faceted Congressional district.”
Candidate Morgan is “thrilled” about his success. “I am committed to tackling the hard issues of education, employment, healthcare access, youth and senior services. I will work tirelessly in Congress to promote solutions that are equitable and sustainable. I will be an exemplary public servant and hope the voters of NY-15 will empower me to achieve my mission.”
He went on to say, “NY-15 deserves a representative who is on top of today’s issues and whose behavior is above reproach. The controversy surrounding the incumbent Congressman has been a great distraction for the last two years. The Democratic party can ill afford a November general election that is under a cloud of ethical scrutiny.”
Greene says, “Now that Vince is on the ballot, it’s up to voters to go to the polls on September 14th to elect the person who shares our aspirations and will work aggressively on our behalf.”
