Today, United States Senator Charles Schumer endorsed Mark Poloncarz in his race for Erie County Executive. Schumer cited Poloncarz’ s commitment to public service, background of fiscal responsibility and plan to energize Erie County’s economy and create jobs.
“I’m proud to endorse Mark Poloncarz in this important race,” Schumer said. “Mark is the only candidate who will stand up for the middle class and working families and spend taxpayer dollars responsibly. Mark’s record as Comptroller speaks for itself: he curbed waste, fraud and abuse in county government, and he will do the same as County Executive. The son of a steelworker and a nurse, Mark Poloncarz is a true champion for the middle class and I know Mark will do a great job protecting taxpayer dollars while strengthening Erie County’s economy.”
“I am honored to receive the support of Senator Schumer,” Poloncarz said. “I am looking forward to working with Senator Schumer to strengthen Erie County’s economy and put people back to work.”
