Kathy Konst Enters Race For 26th CD — I Think Jon Jon Is Going To Have A Problem
The Buffalo News reports Erie County Legislator Kathy Konst has enter the race for the Democratic nomination for the right to run in the 26th CD. According to the Buffalo news:
Surrounded by about 40 supporters waving campaign signs, the second-term Erie County legislator touted her record as the only candidate who brings both business and legislative experience to the race.
“Over the past few months,” Konst said, “I’ve watched a parade of candidates come forward, and like many of the people who contacted me, I noticed that the field lacked experience. . . . I’ve cut taxes, created laws and balanced government budgets.”
This is more bad news for Jon Powers, the former substitute teacher who uses campaign donations to pay his rent, takes money from men who exploit women, hasn’t done any mail yet, and likes to hand out Buffalo Bills schedules at veterans’ ceremonies.
Konst has experience that Jon Jon lacks:
As president of the Lancaster Area Chamber of Commerce, she said, she also has helped businesses to invest in the community, created private sector jobs and kept young people in Western New York.
I’m going to go out on a limb here. I am predicting that Powers not only doesn’t win the primary, but he actually finishes behind Jack Davis and Konst. We at Monroerising.com can’t wait for this primary to heat up.

With a legitimate female candidate in the race (I don’t know much yet about the other woman) this indeed does cause some major problems for Powers.
Jack Davis is a successful businessman who will be able to fully fund his own campaign, and now we have a county legislator who has a record of actually voting on matters affecting her community. She brings real expeirence to the race.
With two quality candidates in the race now, Democratic voters will have a choice between a couple of real candidates, not a guy who looks pretty and feeds democrat voters with more rhetoric than substance. I’ll read up on the other woman, but for now, this presents a daunting challenge to Powers. So far, all we’ve seen from his campaign is a handful of political hacks and a moviemaker who offended residents with their inappropriate political displays.
It’s good to see that some factions of democratic party will still seek out good, quality candidates to run for office. We still supprt Republican Chris Lee and look forward to helping him get elected. He’ll make a great Congressman. At least the dems are finally putting up a good fight now.
Equal, you forgot one thing, Powers also appears to have been lying about running a non-for-profit that he claimed helped Iraqi children. So far, no one has been able to prove this organization ever existed, except for one news article written a long time ago with no follow up.
I hear he even blew off his own supporters who actually took the time to send him questions several days ago. They’re STILL waiting to hear back from him! One of the politcal workers from the Greece Memorial Day spectacle rolled out some excuses to cover him on it.
Get ready Monroe County! Kathy Konst is the only candidate in the race for the 26th with both the business and public service experience to best serve the people of this district in Congress! It’s time for a woman to show what she can do for us! Get ready!!!
