Republican New York Assemblywoman Claudia Tenney is mounting an anti-establishment campaign for the U.S. House seat in New York’s 22nd congressional district. Tenney’s Republican primary for the seat is Tuesday. She is running against businessman Steve Wells, whom Tenney is characterizing as an establishment Republican figure. Tenney says that the Establishment has already spent a million dollars in the primary race against her. The race is now a statistical virtual tie, with Tenney leading Wells 32 percent to 31 percent in a three-way race.
Can Tenney pull it out? She spoke to Breitbart News Saturday on Sirius XM Patriot Channel 125 about her chances.
“I’m not afraid to stand up to the establishment in both parties, whether it’s Republican or Democrat,” Tenney said.
“It’s going to be well over a million dollars by the time it’s done,” Tenney said about the money being spent against her in the primary. “It’s probably going to be close to two million dollars…This is what I’m up against. Wealthy liberal Republicans who are just trying to preserve the status quo.” She went on to say:
Incredibly, by the way, none of them will come out and support Trump. They won’t even admit that they’re going to support Donald Trump because Donald Trump is going to blow up the establishment and I think that’s what they are so afraid of with me. I haven’t been endorsed by establishment Republicans. I have a lot of people who are Democrats who are now on the Trump Train who are also supporting me, not because they agree with me on everything but because they know that the cabal between the establishment in both parties is destroying this country and they need someone who’s going to be strong and stand up for them.

Hopefully another leftist RINO doesn’t steal this seat again.
She’s a good candidate with a sterling character.
Wells is in debt to the Oneida Indian Nation...bad neighbors and employers.
It’s absolutely critical that we send Dave Brat some help.
I hope that New York Freepers plug Tenney’s candidacy. I think she’d make a great Congresswoman.
“Hopefully another leftist RINO doesn’t steal this seat again.”
They will try, because they have the Establishment money to pull it off. One thing we have learned over the years is that NOTHING is beneath them.
waiting for Claudia results. polls closed at 9pm
Faso wins.
imp ... got 4 more hemlock trunks on my front lawn tonite.. Trees are better than politics.
Sonny, move out to the country.
Claudia Tenney wins by almost 8% (she got around 42% in a three-person race). For some reason, AP wouldn’t call the race even after 99% ofprecincts were in and Tenney was up by 8%, but it finally called it for herwith 100% of the vote in.
congrats Gold. she couldn’t have done it without ya
Good news, Tenney and Faso should be big improvements over Hanna and Gibson.
The rat nominee against Faso is socialist lunatic and former failed Cuomo primary challenger Moon Unit Zappa, I mean Zephyr Teachout. She’s raised as much money as he has, each over a million dollars.
Tenney’s foe is county legislator Kim Myers, who’s raised 100k more than Tenney.
“Good news, Tenney and Faso should be big improvements over Hanna and Gibson. ..”
For sure, both Tenney and Faso are outstanding conservatives.
In case anyone wants to help Claudia Tenney and give her a follow:

Claudia Tenney is a strong PRO-LIFE candidate.
I was reading a bit about her connection to PRO-LIFE Susan B. Anthony list, but I could not access the page.
However, this also shows her PRO-LIFE stance:
“..She has introduced pro-life legislation in the state Assembly. ....”
I really like Claudia Tenney and hope she wins. The district is marginal, it voted narrowly for Mitt Romney. Also, Kim Meyers is an heiress to the Dick’s Sporting Goods fortune. That could be a problem.
