Massa to debate. Kuhl to disappear

CORNING N.Y. – Today, Randy Kuhl declined to attend the debate sponsored by WXXI and the National Technical Institute for the Deaf on Monday, September 22nd to attend two $1,000.00 per PAC fundraisers in Washington, DC, a clear sign of where Randy Kuhl’s priorities stand. Eric Massa will still attend because he believes that talking about the issues facing families across this district is a fundamental part of being an elected official.

“I will still be attending this debate because I know that there is nothing more important than standing before the voters of this district,” said retired Navy Commander Eric Massa. “I hope that Mr. Kuhl will reconsider his decision, cancel his Washington fundraisers and join me on Monday night rather than standing with Washington lobbyists.”

Rather than attending a debate in his district, Randy Kuhl will be attending two DC special interest fundraisers, to see his schedule: http://thehammondgrp.com/_wsn/page5.htmlWXXI, .
