Hi everybody. My name is Devin McConnell and I'm a Democratic committeeman in the Town of Kinderhookin Columbia County. I'm writing up this message to let anyone here from the 20th district know that on Friday, August 12th Dutchess County legislator Joel Tyner will announce his candidacy for the Democratic nomination to unseat current NY-20 congressman Chris Gibson. I met Joel a few days ago at a Democratic event and was taken that he's an actual serious progressive pushing the idea as he puts it that we are "The Real Majority" and explaining that just about all major polls show a majority or more of Americans supporting Medicare-For-All, higher taxation on the rich, Planned Parenthood, Clean Money Elections and withdrawing from Iraq and Afghanistan now. And so far he is the first person to seriously announce a move to challenge Rep. Gibson next fall and it would be a serious accomplishment for the left and for the Democrats to run a seriously progressive candidate against a Tea Party candidate. The announcement on Friday will be at the FDR house at Hyde Park in Dutchess county at 12:30 and a following event will be at the courthouse in Hudson in Columbia County at 2 o'clock. I'm asking that any and all supportive and interested people reading this come out and support Joel Tyner and get a real progressive nominated before the Democratic Party comes in with another Blue Dog candidate.
Thank you
Devin McConnell
