Paul Tonko Gets Dissed By His Homeboys
Tom DiMezza, Democratic supervisor for the Town of Amsterdam and John Duchessi, former Democratic mayor of the City of Amsterdam have both thrown their support behind Phil Steck for the next Congressman from New York State’s 21st Congressional District, rather than fellow Democratic Amsterdamian, Paul Tonko.
“Phil Steck is someone who will work for our community because he is not beholden to special interests,” said DiMezza. “Phil brought about real change in the Town of Colonie and will bring that same community-based approach to Washington as our Congressman.”
“I am very grateful for Tom DiMezza’s support and I look forward to campaigning with him in Montgomery County,” said Steck. “I am not surrounded by an army of lobbyists and my campaign is rooted in the community. People like Tom DiMezza, will make the difference in this campaign. If we want real change in Washington, we need a representative in DC with a community-based focus who will take on big oil to reduce the cost of gas, and work to create economic opportunities and create jobs.”
