In NY-23, Is Dede Scozzafava the Best We Can Do?

If Dede Scozzafava is the best the New York Republicans can come up with, let’s just hand the district over to the Democrats.

Let’s ignore that she is a liberal. Let’s ignore that she’s in favor of abortion rights. Let’s ignore that she is a big proponent of the gay rights agenda. Let’s ignore that she’s not really a fiscal conservative.

Let’s ignore her political record, in other words, and look at her record in the private sector.

Dede Scozzafava was Chief Operating Officer for Seaway Capital Partners until the end of last month.

Her brother runs the company.

Her company’s key subsidiaries have accumulated hundreds of thousands of dollars in state and federal tax liens. As of July 13, 2009 – or less than a week ago – three of Dede’s businesses have $192,000 in outstanding liens.

If she can’t run her business any which way but into the ground, she’s not going to be any different from the Democrats already running the country into the ground. So let’s just pass on the race and save our money if she’s going to be the nominee.

You can see the liens in question here, here, and here.

Josh Lynch

We can definitely do better, and the right candidate for the job is Josh Lynch, a young 26-year old who has jumped in the race and has quite a lot of momentum in the race.

Josh works as a legislative assistant in the U.S. Senate and directed John McCain’s Catholic Outreach operation, not to mention worked as a field staffer on a presidential campaign in Iowa.

Because of his experience, he has a national fundraising base, and has experience with complex issues, such as health-care, which is an issue he’s handled in the U.S. Senate.

Also, a 26-year old would create national buzz, especially online, which again, means he can raise money. Combine that with his energy and ability to knock on doors, and we have the perfect candidate.

And it doesn’t end there. Josh has a cool story, being raised in a single-parent home by his mother, and grew up in a small town within the district.

Here are some stories featuring Josh and his candidacy. Please spread his name around — the GOP County Chairs will make a selection this next Tuesday.
