Thank You

A heartfelt "thank you" for your attention throughout the campaign.

Dear Friends:

First and foremost, I want to say that my thoughts and my prayers – and those of my entire campaign team – are with all those struggling to recover from the impact of Hurricane Sandy.

Times are tough here right now on Long Island, but we will recover – and come back stronger than ever.  If there is anything my office can do for you and your family, please contact my Campaign HQ @ 631-775-9230.

Although much less important in the grand scheme of things, I also have some terrific news from the campaign front that I want to share with you!

The district’s paper of record – Newsday – has endorsed my candidacy for Congress.  Please read some key excerpts from Newsday’s editorial below and find a list of additional endorsements we’ve received.

“Altschuler, who holds an MBA and lives in St. James, makes a compelling case for his candidacy this time out.”

“As co-founder of OfficeTiger, a Manhattan-based business support company, in addition to his founding role at CloudBlue, he's proven himself as an entrepreneur with extraordinary business acumen, someone who could help Long Island's private sector create jobs.”

“If elected, Altschuler would likely be a member of the majority in the House of Representatives, which would give him a substantial advantage as he works to carry out his agenda.”

“Altschuler says he will start a new GOP caucus to end the bitter partisanship that has paralyzed the House. He will be held to that promise.”

“While Bishop insists that government can be a force for good, his challenger says government too often overreaches. The country is living beyond its means now, Altschuler says, and if you give the government more money, its expenses will just mushroom accordingly.”

But Altschuler has emerged as a business leader with the skills to guide eastern Long Island toward a brighter future.  Newsday endorses Altschuler.
