“We have earned the Republican, Conservative and Independence Party endorsements; our primary opponent has dropped out of the race; we made the inaugural class of NRCC Young Guns; and we’ve outraised a five-term incumbent for three filing periods in a row,” said Campaign Manager Diana Weir.  “I think it’s pretty clear who has the momentum in New York’s 1st Congressional District.”
