Jason Womer, Independence Party Member, enters the 1st District Erie County Legislative Race!

Contributed by Jason Womer

It’s time for a change here in WNY. That’s why I’ve decided to run for Erie County Legislator 1st District on the Independence line. As a father of two little girls, I want them to grow up to have the best possible future they can have here in WNY. I know its an uphill battle for me to get elected. But its a goal that is quite possibly achievable. I’m tired of career politicians using their power for personal gain. The most important thing here in Erie County are the residents who live here. As a resident here, I feel betrayed and lied to by the elected officials. I’m not saying they are all bad, but if the bank account fits…..

Taxes here in Erie County are among the highest anywhere. And where are all the taxes spent? I believe “our” taxes could be spent in a much wiser way. You don’t have to worry about me selling my vote. Special Interests groups or “lobbyist”, don’t have me in their back pocket. Nor will they ever.

Its time to give the people of this County a say so in THEIR local Government. I will work for them. And ONLY them. Getting rid of politicians who use politics as a career and personal gain are just one of my many goals.

I will work hard to try and bring jobs and businesses back to Erie County, while maintaining our integrity we all share and enjoy. We should not have to beg and plead and pay for businesses to come here.

Finally, I believe the only way to get out of this mess that was created is to balance the budget in a way that is healthy for the residents and the County. It can be done.

I hope to see you out on the campaign trail, and I thank you for your support in advance.

1st District Erie County Legislator Candidate
