FULTON -U.S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-New York) endorsed Darrel Aubertine's campaign for the State Senate today during a visit to Fulton. Aubertine officially announced his candidacy for the 48th State Senate seat during a series of rallies this weekend, with stops in Oswego County, Jefferson County and St. Lawrence County.
"When I need to know how an issue is going to affect the people of Central and Northern New York, I call Darrel Aubertine," said Sen. Schumer. "And Darrel knows, because he's experienced many of the same challenges as the people he represents. That experience drives him to be a hard working representative of this region, and I am pleased to give him my enthusiastic endorsement."
Schumer and Aubertine were in Fulton today to meet voters and to talk about local issues. It was the second time in three weeks that Sen. Schumer and Assemblyman Aubertine discussed local issues in Oswego County. In late December, the two toured the Port of Oswego. While in the Assembly, Aubertine has built a strong partnership with Sen. Schumer, as the two worked together on a host issues.
"We worked together to expand Fort Drum and to improve its impact on the regional economy," said Sen. Schumer. "We worked to fight against the influx of foreign milk protein concentrates that hurt our local dairy farmers. And, most recently, we worked to help save over 900 jobs at the Alcoa plant in Massena. Darrel knows what it takes to represent the people of this region because he has been there, and I look forward to working with him on even more local issues when he is elected to the State Senate."
