“I am pleased to be included in the New York Farm Bureau’s Circle of Friends for the eighth consecutive year. Family farmers in the North Country know I share their values and listen intently to their concerns. They know I go to Albany to solve their problems and fight for them. The agricultural industry is the backbone of our economy in Upstate New York. That’s why I’ll continue the fight to lower their taxes, roll back burdensome regulations and continue to invest in initiatives that help them compete in a changing economic landscape.”
