Television Ad Focuses on Fixing Economy, Helping Small Business

Kinderhook, NY ­­ April 13, 2016… John Faso,the endorsed Conservative, Republican, Independent candidate running for Congress in the 19th Congressional District,today released his second television advertisement, which focuses on his plans to turn the Upstate economy around and help small businesses.

Called “Better Off,” the 30­second spot will air on cable television and digital outlets throughout the district in conjunction with a previously released advertisement called “Challenge.” It outlines his key reform principles in helping small businesses such as simplifying the tax code, ending corporate welfare, investing in small businesses and ending regulatory madness.

President Obama doesn’t get it, you can’t fix a problem if you keep ignoring it,” Faso says.

Script below:

President Obama: ‘By almost every economic measure, we are significantly better off.’ John Faso: Tell that to the family struggling in Kingston.

Or the small business in the Catskills scraping to make payroll. I’m John Faso, my plan to get the economy growing again would:

  • Simplify the tax code
  • End corporate welfare
  • Promote small business investment
  • And end Washington’s regulatory madness

President Obama doesn’t get it, you can’t fix a problem if you keep ignoring it. I’m John Faso, and I approve this message.

Faso’s previous advertisement focused on his record in the Assembly, which includes closing a $5 billion deficit and championing property tax reforms such as the STAR program that affects tens of thousands of families, and assures residents that he is ready to take on the challenges in Washington.

Both segments are aimed at distinguishing Faso from the rest of the field and will be aired leading up to the June 28 primary.

Faso is running to fill the seat now held by Congressman Chris Gibson (R), who is not seeking re­election. 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.
