Local Farmer Backs Spiros in August GOP Primary

Dear Editor:

I don’t often write letters to the editor but I’m making an exception this time to encourage my fellow farmers to join me in supporting John Spiros for Assembly in the August 13^th primary.

I come from a family of farmers and we love this way of life.  Now more than ever our farming community needs someone representing us that we can count on.

There’s no one else that I’d trust more to stand up for our agricultural community than John Spiros.

John doesn’t just talk about helping our farm families, he’s got the record to prove it.

He’s fought for better health care for farmers, lower taxes for ag land and he’ll stand up against foreign governments and greedy corporations who want to gobble up our precious farmland.

John also has a record of being endorsed by farming groups like the Farm Bureau and the Dairy Business Association – time after time.

I know John is a family man whose word is gold and he’s also one of those guys who has never forgotten where he came from.

Please join me in backing John Spiros on August 13^th.

Kevin Schmidtke, Stratford
