Amherst, NY — Today, the New York State Supreme Court ruled in favor of Christopher Lee's effort to keep Alice Kryzan from appearing on the Working Family Party line.

Anne Wadsworth, Senior Campaign Advisor said:

"This is nothing more than the Republican machine's attempt to make a mockery of the Democratic process.  Jon Powers is not a candidate for Congress, he does not live in the state of New York and therefore by state law is ineligible to appear on the ballot.  Clearly Republicans are struggling to come up with a winning message and are therefore playing Karl Rove-like antics in an attempt to steal the election.  Alice got into this campaign because she believes that with new leadership we can bring jobs and prosperity back to Western New York.  Republicans can play all the political games and use all the smear tactics they want, but we are confident that come November 4th Western New York will see through the mud and elect Alice Kryzan because she represents the positive change we need with integrity and independence."
