Republican congressional candidate Anthony Constantino made a campaign stop in Gouverneur and outlined his campaign pitches, including infrastructure, gun laws and affordability. He faces Robert Smullen in the June 23 Republican primary for New York’s 21st District.
Constantino said he wants voters to choose him because he has relationships with people who can get things done. He asked voters to support him rather than donate, and said he is funding his campaign through his company, Sticker Mule, which he argues makes him less beholden to donors. He also said he would improve internet infrastructure, amend gun laws he considers restrictive, and focus on affordability and job creation.
Constantino is running against State Assemblyman Robert Smullen in the Republican primary for the district currently represented by Elise Stefanik. Constantino was endorsed by President Trump, while Smullen has the endorsement of the St. Lawrence County Republican Committee. The article says both candidates have released polls showing themselves ahead and have disputed each other’s polls.
