Chairman Ronald E. Jackson Essex County Republican Committee PO Box 123 Essex, New York 12936 Dear Ron and Committee Members, I am writing to formally ask for the Essex County Republican Committee endorsement as a candidate for the position of Assemblyman for the new Assembly District #114. I respectfully ask for your vote on March 21th after I appear before your committee. I am sure that you will agree that it is imperative that we keep our representative in Essex County. I believe that my personal work, community and political experience will qualify me to be the best possible representative of the District to go to Albany to fight for the needs of our people, businesses and local governments. My background includes:

Business developer with over 13 current ventures in operation now. CPA with expertise in New York State tax law. CPA and business consultant to over 400 business clients. Community activist/volunteer for 35 years. Olympic Organizer Economic developer. Family values oriented Army veteran. Life long resident of the District.

My resume and personal history clearly demonstrate that I stand by my principles and core values and will defend them to the extent necessary to ensure that integrity and fairness prevails. I will continue

this legacy by fighting for the needs of the 114th District and Essex County in Albany. I will help to cope with our number one problem, Economic Development and job creation. My priority will be providing the proper foundation in New York and especially the Adirondacks to create jobs for us, our children and grandchildren. This will ensure that we all can continue to live here in Gods country and enjoy the most beautiful area in the world! With your support I will continue our fight for less government intervention into our lives, families and businesses. I will work to reverse the continual erosion of our Constitutional rights; specifically the US 1st, 2nd and 10th Amendments as well as our rights under our State Constitution. We need to make New York the Empire State once again! That can only happen with lower taxes, less intrusive regulations and a sound fiscal government. I can do it, but only with your support. Please consider me and vote with your Committee to endorse me on March 21th. Sincerely,
