I see the WFP is clinging to the weakest link. Mesi has the least experience and is the easiest for them to control. WFP troops on the ground and backs up everything I have been saying about unions supplying manpower and money to get them elected.

Working Family Party Joins Mesi for Senate Campaign
61st Senate District – The Working Family Party (WFP) has joined Joe Mesi’s campaign for state senate. This partnership has brought a renowned grassroots operation and campaign staff to bat for this critical Senate race.
“Joe is exactly the kind of guy working families in Western New York need fighting for them in Albany. He’s been a fighter his whole life, and it shows.” said Sam Williams, State Co-Chair of the Working Families Party. “The WFP is making the Mesi campaign a top priority. We need to change the leadership that’s failed upstate New York, and elect the kind of people who will work hard to create jobs and cleanup Albany.”
Beginning this week, the WFP is placing several full-time campaign staff in the operation. The Party will be instrumental in building the candidate’s base, knocking on thousands of doors, mobilizing labor unions and affiliated organizations, and recruiting hundreds of financial contributors.
“This is a challenging race and I believe their help will make a real difference,” said Joe Mesi. “We share common goals on the issues that really matter: job creation, innovative economic development, and reforming the broken political system in Albany.”
“This was an easy decision, because Joe Mesi is one of us,” said Dave Chudy, Vice-Chair of the Working Families Party’s Western New York Chapter. “Joe understands firsthand the issues and struggles that are affecting working families. Whether it be fighting for living wage jobs, Paid Family Leave, property tax relief, or smart, creative economic development, Joe Mesi will fight for us in the State Senate and the WFP is proud to stand with Joe as we work to reclaim and reform Albany.”
Joe Mesi is a Democratic candidate for the 61st Senate District. He is running for State Senate to bring an independent voice, strong leadership, and working class values back to Albany. Joe believes in our community, and he knows it will take more than the same tired old political promises to get our region back on track.
