Nate McMurray is running for the vacant House seat in West NY's 27th District. Please vote & support

The election is on Primary Day, June 23rd. McMurray is running to fill a House seat in New York's 27th District which was vacated when republican crook Chris Collins was convicted of insider trading from the White House lawn.

New York's 27th District runs from just east of Buffalo to almost-Rochester, and down to the Finger Lakes. McMurray is a strong and outspoken Democrat who's put together a large grassroots ground game and is our best chance to turn this long-held republican district blue. After decades of absentee republican neglect, if McMurray gets in, he'll hold the seat through his representation and activism for his home district.

His opponent is a member of a Buffalo billionaire family who's running on being the biggest trump supporter. McMurray came within .37% of winning in 2018, and he's got plenty of labor and Democratic endorsements. But the State and Federal Democratic Party has been a bit lax in their support. He's built it himself, through his own force-of-nature energy, and by tirelessly building support in all the little burgs and hamlets of his district.

I'm a Spencerport native; outside his district; and I live in San Francisco. This is my adopted candidate for this cycle, and it's the only House seat up for grabs between now and the election in November. Our House of Representatives needs Nate McMurray. The campaign needs contributions, support, and, most of all, VOTES!

R+11 district; Trump won by +24. Ratings are "Likely R/Safe R".

McMurray (whom I supported in 2018) was previously running directly against Collins, who was already tainted. Now that he's out of office, it's McMurray vs "generic Republican. Much harder to pick off. Can't recommend financial support here; NY-24 (vs John Katko) is much more likely to flip.
