Statement from the Blake Gendebien for Congress Campaign on Robert Smullen Suspending His Campaign

LISBON, NY — Following reports that Robert Smullen has suspended his campaign for Congress, the Blake Gendebien for Congress campaign released the following statement:

“Now that Robert Smullen is out of the race, voters across Upstate New York and the North Country have a clear choice this November – a wannabe DC insider Anthony Constantino who fired nearly 70 workers, replaced them with robots, and then bragged about it. Blake is a dairy farmer who will keep fighting to lower costs, protect rural health care, secure the border, and stand up for the people who make Upstate New York and the North Country work.”
