Former Congressman Bill Paxon Joins Team Supporting Tom Reed

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tom Reed has announced that former congressman Bill Paxon has agreed to join the Reed for Congress team as Honorary Co-Chair. "It's very humbling to have the support of two very prominent former members of Congress from western New York leading our effort," Reed said. "With Amo Houghton and Bill Paxon behind us, we are even better supported and prepared to run a campaign to bring a common- sense financial approach to Washington, DC." 

"Things can sometimes change quickly in politics, but one thing that hasn't and will not change is Tom Reed's commitment to fight against bigger government and reckless spending in Washington," Paxon commented. "I am pleased to put my full support behind Tom Reed. He stood up to say enough is enough even when it meant he would be the underdog. That's the kind of fighter we need." 

"When he was in Congress working for upstate New York, Bill Paxon was tough on those who carelessly borrowed and spent taxpayers money, and I will be the same," Reed said. "His support is a big boost for us. After eight months of tireless campaigning, more than 1200 volunteers have joined us. That grassroots base of support will be what carries us to a win in November. We won't stop until we win the trust of every voter across the 29th Congressional District."
