From Aaron Gies for Congress,
Olean, NY — The Aaron Gies for Congress today announced several major endorsements ahead of the June 23rd Democratic Primary for Congress in New York’s 23rd District.
The WNY CWA Council represents 10,000 active members and thousands of retirees in the fields of healthcare, telecom, social work, printing, publishing, newspaper, broadcasting, and many others. “CWA is proud to endorse Aaron Gies, a champion of working families and union members,” says Thomas Roulley, WNY CWA Political Committee Chairman. “We strongly believe he is the change we need in Congress.”
“Aaron Gies is a fighter for the working-class New Yorker because he IS a working-class New Yorker,” says CDNY President Stephen Austin. The CDNY is dedicated to organizing Democratic college students to engage a new generation of citizens. “Where many would look to seek big corporate money in a swing district, Aaron stays true to his Progressive beliefs. The only person he is out to serve is everyday New Yorkers who are struggling with their day-to-day lives because of disastrous policies from Republicans like Nick Langworthy.”
Allegany County Matters is a grassroots PAC that supports candidates who will ensure that ALL are heard, treated fairly and humanely, and enabled to thrive. In a press release, Allegany County Matters wrote “[Aaron’s] positive message and ideas are attracting support. He has avoided personal attacks. Our organization is confident that, when elected, Mr. Gies will represent the people and families of Allegany County and the 23rd district, not the interests of corporate millionaires and billionaires.”
Aaron responded, highlighting the strength and unity such diverse support represents. “I am beyond grateful for the support of organized labor, grassroots leaders, and the next generation of leaders. This district can only be won by building a large, broad-based coalition of people focused on the future – where a good life is affordable for everyone and government is transparent and accountable.”
