Erie County Conservative Party Recommends Joe Mesi for State Senate

61st District - The Erie County Conservative Party has announced its
recommendation of Joe Mesi for State Senate. Recognizing that Joe Mesi is
a fiscal conservative dedicated to cutting wasteful, the Erie County
Conservative Party is confident he will work to bring fiscal
responsibility back to Albany.

Erie County Conservative Party Chairman, Ralph C. Lorigo said the party
decided to recommend Mesi after meeting with him Thursday night.
"He understands that the taxpayers in Erie County have been hit hard by
this economy, and wants to help them get back on their feet by bringing
fiscal restraint to the Capital," Lorgio said.

"I am grateful for Conservative Party's support," said Mesi. "This year,
we face difficult economic times, and yet Albany voted to increase
spending in our State Budget. Having run my own business, I know it's
important not to spend more than you take in and I think the politicians
in Albany have forgotten this rule. I will work hard to bring fiscal
responsibility to our State Legislature."

The Conservative Party of New York State was formed in 1962 and is
dedicated to the individual freedom, individual responsibility and
individual effort. The Conservative Party has attracted voters from around
the state and now boasts a membership of nearly 170,000 members. The
Party has successfully led campaigns to defeat proposed changes to term
limits, excessive School Bond Acts, and expensive transportation bonds.
Statewide, the Party has forged strong links to Republicans and Democrats
of compatible views and is has established itself as a strong political
presence in Western New York, and throughout the state.
