Release Follows Another That Highlights His Record of Cutting Spending

Kinderhook, NY — August 25, 2016 … The campaign for John Faso,the Republican, Conservative, Independence and Reform candidate running for Congress in the 19th Congressional District, has released its second television advertisement for the general election — this one focusing on his plan to fix Upstate’s struggling economy.

The 30-second spot, called “Plan,” focuses on Faso’s plan to help New Yorkers, including simplifying the tax code, ending corporate welfare, encouraging small business investment and eliminating some of the burdensome regulations driven by Washington. Faso was recently endorsed by the National Federation of Independent Business, an advocacy organization representing 325,000 small businesses across the country.

“Plan” follows another ad released earlier this week, called “Frugal” featuring Faso’s wife Mary Frances, who playfully highlights Faso’s fiscal responsibility at his Kinderhook home, before transitioning to his time as a leading expert on state budgetary matters and record of cutting spending.

Narrator: For decades he’s called Upstate home.

Starting his career, raising a family.

John Faso. He knows the challenges forcing our young people to leave, as families and small businesses struggle.

John will work to keep the jobs we have and get the economy growing.

His plan:

Simplify the tax code

End corporate welfare

Incentivize investment in small businesses

and stop Washington’s regulatory madness

John Faso.

One of us.

Fighting for us.

John Faso: I’m John Faso, and I approve this message.

The ad will start on cable television throughout the district. Previous ads run in the primary also highlighted Faso’s fiscal record of cutting taxes and closing budget deficits and outline his key reform principles to help small businesses, notably simplifying the tax code, ending corporate welfare, investing in small businesses and ending Washington’s regulatory madness.

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.
