Lopez
SCHOHARIE – State Assemblyman Peter Lopez
Tuesday formally announced his bid to seek the Republican and Conservative
nominations for the 19th Congressional seat being vacated by Christopher
Gibson.
Lopez said people want representatives in government who “aggressively
challenge the status quo.” He said his campaign is not about power,
ego or money. “It is about service to the people.”
He acknowledged the race for the District 19 seat will be highly contested
and likely to be one of the top 10 contested in the nation and he believes
he can best serve its residents.
On national security, Lopez said the nation cannot live in a vacuum. “To
keep our home front safe, we must sometimes engage abroad,” he said.
“We must do whatever it takes to protect every American.”
