He doesn’t care

Marc Molinaro clearly thinks we’re too dumb to know what he’s doing in Congress. But we’re not and we do.   John, Career politicians like Marc Molinaro only care about themselves, not us. Before I share a few of the things Molinaro has publicly said about us, will you contribu…

Marc Molinaro is clearly too extreme for Upstate New York
