West Sayville, NY - Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton endorsed Brian X. Foley today for State Senate in his race against 36-year incumbent Caesar Trunzo. The endorsement by Clinton, a longtime fighter for working families and a star of the Democratic Party, is a major boost to Foley's campaign and adds to his ever growing support and momentum. Senator Clinton has inspired millions of voters across the nation with the strength of her vision for change, and her advocacy on behalf of middle-class families struggling from years of failed economic policies.
"We need Brian X. Foley in Albany fighting for all of us. He is a champion of working families and represents the change we need," stated Senator Clinton. "We need his record of innovative solutions and proven leadership. This year, it's important that we send new Democratic leaders to the State House. I am confident that Brian will be such a leader."
In just two years as the Brookhaven Town Supervisor, Brian X. Foley cut a $15 million deficit, got the town its highest bond rating ever, and saved taxpayers $10 million through innovative economic policies. Because of his hard work, Brookhaven now has the lowest town tax rate in Suffolk County and is the only Town in Long Island to hold the line on taxes this year.
"Foley knows how to roll up his sleeves and start making government work for people again. He turned around a notoriously corrupt town government, putting it in its best fiscal position in decades and restoring voters' faith in Brookhaven Town Hall. The New York State Senate urgently needs Brian's voice of reason and fiscal responsibility. I enthusiastically endorse Brian X. Foley," added Senator Clinton.
Foley thanked Sen. Clinton. "I am deeply honored to receive Senator Clinton's endorsement. I believe that together, we can bring change to Albany - change that will make a real difference in the lives of working families."
