Reed to be Independence Party Candidate on November Ballot

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Steuben County Judge Marianne Furfure has ruled that Tom Reed’s name will appear on the
Independence Party line of the ballot for U.S. House of Representatives, 29th District, for the November
2 General Election. Reed will also appear as the candidate of the Republican Party and Conservative
Party for the General Election.

Judge Furfure validated 24 previously challenged Independence petition signatures, which put the Reed
total at 889, more than the 870 required.

Reed will also appear on the Conservative, Republican and Independence lines for the special election
for Congress which will presumably also be held on November 2.

“It might be a confusing ballot,” Reed said. “We are confident that our message of no more borrowing,
living within our means and less federal government intrusion into our lives will carry both elections in
November. We’ll keep taking our message to the voters as we have been for over a year. Our
momentum and support is growing every day.”
