Middle Island, May 21, 2012 – Self-made businessman and Republican congressional candidate Randy Altschuler has earned the endorsement of the United States Chamber of Commerce as the candidate best equipped to foster job creation and economic growth in Eastern Suffolk County, his campaign announced today.
Altschuler recently outlined a specific 10-point plan to revitalize the local economy and bring jobs back to Eastern Suffolk County. www.Randy2012.com/jobsplan/
“On behalf of the world’s largest business federation representing the interests of more than three million businesses and organizations of every size, sector, and region, I am pleased to inform you that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Board of Directors has endorsed your candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives,” wrote Chamber President and CEO Thomas Donohue in a letter to Altschuler. “Your record of support on pro-business issues earned this endorsement. We believe that your election to the U.S. House of Representatives will help produce sustained economic growth, help create more jobs, and get our country back on track. The Chamber will be in direct contact with our members in your state promoting you as our candidate of choice.”
Altschuler said the endorsement underscored his campaign’s central theme – that his experience as a self-made businessman who came from humble beginnings to build two American companies from the ground up and create more than a thousand American jobs – sets him apart from his opponent, career bureaucrat turned politician Tim Bishop.
“Since I released my 10-point jobs earlier this month, countless people have come up to me at events and thanked me for being the only candidate in this race talking about the critical economic and fiscal issues facing Suffolk County taxpayers and small business owners,” said Altschuler. “I am honored to be endorsed by the leading pro-jobs organizations in the United States and I encourage everyone to visit my web site at www.Randy2012.com and read my jobs plan for themselves and contact me with their feedback.”
