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’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.”

New York’s 131st Assembly district covers all of Ontario County and a portion of Seneca County.

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.

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.
