We are proud to announce that our campaign has earned the endorsement of the Manufacturing-Industry Political Action Committee (MIPAC)!

Manufacturing provides good-paying jobs and supports working families across Wayne County and Webster. We need to make New York a place where businesses can grow, manufacturers can compete, and working people can get ahead.

After knocking on doors Saturday, George stopped by the “Old Wolcott” (Wolcott, Butler, Huron, and Rose) Bicentennial Jubilee at the North-Rose Wolcott High School. Learned a lot about the shared history of that part of Wayne County!

George spent this morning knocking on doors and meeting with residents in the Town of Wolcott and Butler. A special thank you to Butler Town Supervisor Tom Mettler for taking the time to introduce George to business owners in the Village downtown. It’s always a pleasure to hear firsthand from the hardworking people who keep our small towns going!

After work on Thursday George knocked on a few dozen doors along the Monroe-Wayne County Line Road between Ontario and Webster. Sundown comes earlier and earlier each day! We forgot to take a picture while walking, so here is one of Mama Lor’s Cafe we snapped on our way home.

For those interested, George’s debate with Democratic Assembly Candidates Carl FitzSimmons and Joe Lamanna is now on YouTube!

NYS 130th State Assembly Debate

10/15/2026

On Wednesday evening, George attended Wayne County SCOPE’s monthly meeting at the Palmyra Town Hall.

The Second Amendment is the canary in the coal mine for threats to all other constitutional rights. When one freedom is threatened, the rest are never far behind.

That’s why we’re proud to announce that George has recently earned an “A” rating from both the NRA and the New York State R***e & Pistol Association.

As your next Assemblyman, George will always stand up for our constitutional rights and the freedoms that make this country great.

In 1859, British philosopher John Stuart Mill wrote “On Liberty.” While he was not an American, Mill gave us one of the finest defenses of free speech ever written.

His argument is simple. Silencing an opinion is dangerous, even when we believe that opinion is wrong.

Why? Because there are three possibilities:

First, the opinion might be right. History is full of people who were certain they were right and turned out to be fools. The Earth was once the center of the universe (at least, according to the experts).

Second, the opinion might be partly right. Most arguments contain some kernel of truth. We get closer to the whole truth by allowing competing ideas to challenge each other.

Third, the opinion might be completely wrong. Even then, we benefit from hearing it. Truth needs opposition. Without debate, our beliefs become slogans. We forget why we believe them in the first place.

Mill understood something that modern censors often miss. No one has a monopoly on wisdom.

Especially the government!

The First Amendment does not exist to protect popular opinions. Popular opinions don’t need protection. It exists to protect the person who says something the majority despises.

That includes speech we find offensive, foolish, or downright ridiculous.

The answer to bad speech is better speech. Not a government official deciding which opinions are fit for public consumption.

A free society requires humility. We must admit both that we could be wrong, and that the person we cannot stand might have something worth saying.

Freedom of speech is not a favor we grant people who agree with us. It is the price we pay for living among free people.
