MATT MILLER FOR 131st ASSEMBLY DISTRICT
Virtual Meet & Greet Fundraiser
Thursday, August 27th at 7:00 p.m.

Dear 131st Assembly District (NY-131) Democrat,
It’s time to act to help elect a fresh voice for New York’s 131st Assembly District.  
We believe Matt Miller, of Canandaigua, NY, represents our best opportunity to elect a solid Democrat in a district that has been represented by a Republican for the past 20 years.  Matt Miller is a young, energetic veteran who served in the Army National Guard and is a member of the working class.  Matt understands the issues that are important to us because he has been out talking to people in the district for months.  He has fresh ideas.  He is willing to work across party lines and persevere to find solutions that will benefit everyone in our district.  
Unlike his opponent, Matt is new to politics and owes no allegiance to the party bosses.  He looks forward to working with his colleagues in the State Assembly to solve problems and make life better for all New Yorkers.  When Matt is elected, Ontario and Seneca counties will have a voice in the Assembly majority and representative who will advocate for our region and address the issues that are important to us.  He will not argue with or tear down those with different ideas.  Instead, he will listen, but stand firm for solutions that will raise people up and deliver state resources to the people in our communities who need them most.
Matt’s opponent uses fear to make his case.  He yells loudly at Governor Cuomo and dismisses out-of-hand views that are unlike his own.  Matt’s style is to listen and learn, then offer an opinion. Unlike his opponent, Matt supports state statutes such as the Green Light Law and Safe Act.  Matt is committed to police reform.  He will advocate for funding for mental health and addiction which his opponent has not mentioned.  Matt also supports legislation that will lower health care costs and increase access.  His opponent has no health care plan.  
We are inspired by Matt’s willingness to serve his community at such a challenging time.  We believe New York and our neighbors deserve a representative like Matt whose sole focus will be to serve his constituents.  

Your donation to Matt’s campaign at this time is so important.
There are 91,211 registered voters in NY-131 and communication with these voters is key to a successful campaign.  Yes, Matt is using social media to get his message out, raise funds, and recruit volunteers.  But, he will need upwards of $100,000 to win this seat.  Yard signs, direct mail, door hangers, and advertising are just some of the tactics that Matt will use—if he can raise the funds. 2020 is such an important election year.  We must unseat the President and elect Democrats to local and statewide office.  Matt Miller represents the future.  We need this decent young man, with good ideas and a deep commitment, to represent us in Albany to make our communities a better place for all people. 

Please join us on Thursday, August 27, at 7:00PM via Zoom.  Get to know Matt and ask him some questions.  We are asking for a minimum donation of $25 which will provide the financial boost Matt needs to get his message out before his opponent tries to define him.  If you’re not quite sure, there is a quick donation button for $5.00 to join the session with an opportunity to donate more after hearing from Matt.

Canandaigua, NY—The Canandaigua City Democratic Committee kicked off its first meeting of the new year with a unanimous endorsement of Matt Miller for State Assembly (NYS-131).  Miller, a resident of the Town of Canandaigua, is running to unseat incumbent Assemblyman Brian Kolb.

Matt Miller served as an intelligence analyst with the New York Army National Guard, and has worked in health care settings in Boston and Canandaigua.  He is currently an employee of Ryan’s Wine & Spirits in Canandaigua.

“Matt’s commitment to public service and grasp of the issues facing residents of New York’s 131st district is impressive,” asserted Committee Chairperson Guy Turchetti.  “He fielded questions from committee members on a wide range of complex topics including health care, bail reform, gun ownership, and home rule.  We are confident that people will respond to Matt’s message and we look forward to supporting him in the coming months.”

CANANDAIGUA CITY DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE ENDORSES
NATE MCMURRAY FOR U.S. CONGRESS (NY-27)

Canandaigua, NY—The Canandaigua City Democratic Committee unanimously endorsed Nate McMurray for U.S. Congress representing New York’s 27th Congressional District at its monthly meeting on February 26, 2020.  

Nate McMurray is a native of North Tonawanda, New York.  McMurray recently completed a 4-year term as Supervisor of the Town of Grand Island, New York, where he brought fiscal responsibility to local government and millions of dollars in new business investment to the town.

“Nate is a frequent visitor to Canandaigua.  He knows people here by name and understands the concerns and challenges we face in the east end of the congressional district,” stated Committee Chairperson Guy Turchetti.  “Nate will fight for the families of Western New York, good people who are struggling to get by and build a future for their children and grandchildren. He will work to improve our roads and infrastructure, and bring more and better paying jobs to the district. He is committed to ensuring that everyone can get the health care they need and lowering the cost of prescription drugs.  He will protect social security and veteran’s benefits. Nate is exactly the kind of representative that we need working for us in Washington, DC.”  

The 27th Congressional District runs from Canandaigua to the east all the way to Erie County to the west. Registered voters will be able to cast a vote in a special election on April 28 to fill the congressional seat vacated when disgraced former congressman Chris Collins was forced to resign and go to prison for insider trading.   McMurray ran against Collins in 2018 and lost by less than 1% of the vote.

The Canandaigua City Democratic Committee recruits and supports individuals who will stand up for democratic values while serving in public office.

Canandaigua City Democratic Committee Statement on the Pesticide Moratorium
September 30, 2017

The Canandaigua City Democratic Committee values new approaches that safeguard our natural resources and make our community a better place for all.

We support the pesticide moratorium approved by Canandaigua City Council in 2016, which limits the use of pesticides on City park lands for a period of five years. On October 5, City Council will vote on whether to end this commitment early.

We encourage City Council to vote to continue the moratorium. We further encourage City Council to benchmark alternative practices and provide the resources necessary to put them in practice for the purpose of evaluating their effectiveness in Canandaigua's parks.
