More than $329K Since Last Filing

Kinderhook, NY — October 27, 2016 … John Faso, who is running on the Republican, Conservative, Independence and Reform lines, has raised $2.72 million in his bid for the 19th Congressional district, the campaign today announced.

In its 12-day pre-general filing, the Faso campaign will show that it has raised $329,572 during the most recent fundraising period, which encompasses October 1-October 19, according to its most recent filing. The campaign will show it has $297,574 cash-on-hand. Roughly 86 percent of its campaign contributions have come from individuals in New York State, while conversely 75 percent of Teachout’s contributors live outside New York State. A mere 12 percent of Teachout’s contributions come from residents living in the 19th Congressional District, while 32 percent of Faso’s are from within the district.

“It’s clear that we must change Washington’s failed status quo and push for common-sense reforms that improve our economy and help everyday Americans,” Faso said. “I am grateful for all of the support I am receiving in this race, and if elected, those important issues will be my priorities.”

Faso is running to fill the seat now held by Congressman Chris Gibson (R), who is not seeking re-election. As a member of the New York Assembly, Faso developed and pushed proposals that led to real balanced budgets – including the first reduction in state spending in decades while closing a $5 billion deficit. He championed legislation that made a difference for tens of thousands of families such as the STAR program and education and real property tax reform. A former board member of the Rockefeller Institute of Government, Faso also served for three years as a member of the Control Board that worked to fix the financial and managerial issues of the City of Buffalo and its school system.

Mr. Faso and his wife, Mary Frances, a registered nurse, are the proud parents of two children. They have lived in Kinderhook, New York, for more than three decades.

John Faso (R-Kinderhook) is former Republican leader of the state Assembly and candidate for Congress in the 19th Congressional district. To learn more about Faso, visit johnfaso.com.
