Thank you for visiting my congressional website. The 2010 elections was a historic opportunity to restore the American ideal and the American promise. My campaign was about the people of New York's Twenty-First District - and I am proud of how well we have done.
In a district where Democrats have a 60,000 enrollment advantage over Republicans, where my opponent, career politician Paul Tonko spent over $600,000 to my $40,000, I was fortunate to receive over 80,000 votes. Forty-one percent of the district agreed with me that we needed to change the course of how we are being represented. I want to thank each and everyone of you who helped my campaign, who offered support and who voted for me.
This election was a wonderful experience for me. I met thousands of people and learned so much during the last 5 months. I hope that Congressman Paul Tonko heard the message we sent and will change the way he represents us.
He will face new challenges as he enters a new Congressional session under Republican control. I hope Paul has the ability to work across party lines to do what is best for us here in the 21st district. He has never been in the minority party before so he will face new challenges. I wish him the best of luck and hope he helps change the economy, brings jobs to the region and helps reduce our taxes as well as our governments spending as he promised during this campaign.
Thank You,
Ted Danz
