To the Editor:

I've lived my entire life in the North Country, as I grew older, I have watched American manufacturing disappear.

Thousands of jobs were sent overseas because a different country's citizens could do it cheaper. These jobs were tied to many of our tight-knit communities and since their loss these communities have struggled to stay afloat; forcing many young people to follow the jobs out of state or give up altogether.

That is why I am personally supporting Anthony Constantino. Mr. Constantino has created jobs for over a thousand of people in his community and has supported American manufacturing unlike his opponent, Blake Gendebien, a Kathy Hochul puppet who has said that he'd rather have three illegals for him on his farm than a single American worker simply because they are cheaper to employ and don't complain about being exploited.

Unlike his opponent, Constantino supports Trump's tariffs to protect our manufacturing industry, strengthen the border to prevent illegal aliens from entering, and to work with local, state, and federal governments to return manufacturing to the North Country.

A vote for Blake is a vote for Kathy Hochul. This is why I support Anthony Constantino for Congress.
