To the Editor:

Michelle Hinchey is running for the New York Senate seat in the 46th District. Her opponent is Rich Amedure, not George Amedore, who currently holds the seat, but has chosen not to run again.

For the last year, Michelle has been busy meeting with community leaders, business owners, and ordinary folks like you and me. She possesses a good sense of what needs to be accomplished to improve our lives.

Some of her priorities are providing more meaningful employment opportunities, expanding health-care options, helping farmers, repairing roads and bridges, and protecting our water and air quality. When you hear her speak you get a sense of her sincerity and her determination.

Regardless of your party affiliation, please take the time to learn more about this candidate. I believe that Michelle Hinchey is clearly the best choice to get the job done.
