It is all too easy to become cynical about primary elections. Too many voters choose not to vote. When that happens it leaves candidate selection to only the most active voters from the far left of the Democratic Party and the far right of the Republican Party.  Moderate and pragmatic voters are very often disappointed by the results.

This year it can be different. I urge Democratic voters to support our former United States Senator, Hillary Clinton.  Before she ran for Senate, Hillary took the time to tour, listen and learn about us in upstate New York.  Once elected, she fought hard for us and was no stranger to our community.  More recently, as Secretary of State, she worked tirelessly, taking America’s serious message of cooperation to over one hundred different countries.

No candidate is better prepared or better qualified to serve as our President. Hard work and serious preparation counts.  While it is easy to respond to other candidates who promise everything for free, it is more important to have a President who knows how to negotiate and effect compromise in this era of political gridlock.

Your vote matters. Please join me in voting for Hillary Clinton.
