MOLINARO GARNERS BIPARTISAN SUPPORT

Assemblyman praised for his dedication, commitment to the residents of

Dutchess and Columbia counties

Assemblyman Marc Molinaro (R,C,I-Red Hook) continues to earn the respect and support of local officials and community organizers as they voice their praise regarding his unwavering dedication and commitment to serving the people living and working in the 103rd district."I have thought long and hard about what matters most to our 103rd State Assembly District. And, in my belief that we should always choose our representatives on merit rather than party line, I will mention a candidate I know well," wrote Councilwoman Virginia Stern (D-Standford). "Marcus Molinaro has been doing an excellent job, introducing needed legislation in a wide-range of issues including State government reform, tax reform, deficiencies in manage health care, especially as it relates to women's health, institution provisions in schools to stop bullying and harassment both personally and via the internet and, so much in our minds recently, finding better and more equitable ways to fund our schools. Marc has been an advocate for all the communities he represents….""I support Barack Obama for President… I also support another person this year. The residents of New York are facing difficult times and I believe the leaders of our state need to work together for solutions," said Councilman Christopher Galayda (D-Dover). "I support Marcus Molinaro's re-election bid for state Assembly because he has proven that he looks beyond party lines, beyond egos and beyond power struggles to build consensus. Marcus is certainly right for Dover, he is right for the 103rd district and he is right for New York State. I'm a Democrat and Marcus will have my support and my vote.""He loves Columbia County. He loves the people of Columbia County," said Councilwoman Shelia Ramsey (D-Hudson) when discussing Marcus Molinaro's commitment to the people of the 103rd Assembly District. "I can't tell you how much he's impressed me. He is full of passion. He puts all his efforts and time into doing whatever he can for us.""Assemblyman Marc Molinaro has worked extremely hard to help the residents living in the Hopewell Precision Superfund Site. He has been personally involved almost from day one. He has supported many issues pertaining to water and vapor intrusion issues on the state level and for that we are very thankful," said Debra Hall of East Fishkill. "We want to continue to have an assemblyman that communicates, listens and works hard for his constituents.""I am proud to have so many people who can look past party affiliations and join me in an effort to make New York State great again," said Molinaro. "As these individuals know, I will always do everything in my power to make the Hudson Valley a better place to live, work and raise a family. It's time we pierce through the partisanship and provide solutions to the problems facing our people and our communities. I will continue to do just that.""We are fortunate to have someone obsessed with the desire to help others by fighting for us in Albany," said Mayor Rick Scalera (D-Hudson). "I believe the best is yet to come from Marcus Molinaro." Marc Molinaro is seeking re-election to his second term as the Assemblyman for the 103rd district that includes 21 towns in Dutchess and Columbia counties plus the City of Hudson.
