HILLARY CLINTON SYRACUSE OFFICE OPENS
Committee Chair Mark English speaks at the opening of
Hillary Clinton's Syracuse office.
"Now Donald Trump, he’s not an anomaly. He is not a stranger to republican politics. He is not an Aberration as Paul Ryan or John Katko might have you believe. He is the very incarnation of the politics of divisiveness, and exclusion and hatred that the right wing has been promoting for more than 40 years. This is the challenge we face. If we don’t win this election were not going to have the kind of country that we want; a progressive, inclusive, and prosperous country for our children and grandchildren. Are we going to let that happen?"
-Mark English, Committee Chair
