Senator Chuck Schumer endorsed Brian X. Foley for State Senate citing Foley's commitment to putting working families' interests over special interests. Schumer joined Foley at a Campaign for Change event in Mastic Beach, in front of over 120 voters.
'I am supporting Brian X. Foley for Senate because he will bring the same integrity and common-sense approach to Albany that he used to turnaround Brookhaven" said Schumer. "Brian will put working families' interests over special interests and make government work for the middle-class again."
Foley thanked Schumer for the endorsement saying, "I am honored to have the endorsement of Senator Chuck Schumer. Working together, we will fight for Suffolk County families and fix the broken system in Albany."
Foley pointed out the need to focus on skyrocketing healthcare costs for Suffolk families. He discussed a new report by an independent group - Families USA - which revealed that healthcare premiums jumped 80.7% over the past seven years and median wages just couldn't keep up, rising merely 11% between 2000-2007. Premiums rose at an alarming rate of seven times faster than the average family income.
Foley is the real deal. It's great to see Schumer endorsed him.
