Mr. Cantwell said, "I am honored to have the endorsement of New Yorkers for Growth and thank that organization for recognizing my commitment to addressing the North Country's most pressing issues. In the Assembly, I will make property tax relief and fiscal responsibility the centerpiece of my agenda and work to bring about the reform we need to retain and attract good paying jobs locally."
