IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

WATERTOWN DAILY TIMES: “STEFANIK CAMP CLAIMS NY21 DEBATE VICTORY…”

“Mr. Derrick’s campaign did not respond to requests for comment.”

“Shortly after it had wrapped, Leonardo Alcivar, her communications director, released a statement touting the “win” and criticizing the performance of her Democratic opponent, retired Army Col. William “Mike” Derrick. Green Party candidate Matthew J. Funiciello also participated.”

“On that debate stage tonight, the people of the 21st District saw a clear contrast between the results oriented, bipartisan, and transparent leadership demonstrated by Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, and the inexplicable lack of any new ideas or plans from former Republican turned Democrat Mike Derrick for the challenges we face,” he said in a statement. “In fact, for the past hour, north country voters saw Mike Derrick repeatedly stand with the failed policies of the Obama Administration.”

“For offering a strong vision of continued new leadership for the north country, Congresswoman Stefanik was tonight’s clear winner.”
“Mr. Derrick’s campaign did not respond to requests for comment.”

Mr. Derrick has made (TPP) his staple issue throughout his campaign, but Ms. Stefanik called him out for confusing the TPP and TPA in a campaign ad months ago.
