To the editor:

Vince Giordano is not your typical politician. A successful entrepreneur, teacher and mentor, Vince has provided many of our local students with their first jobs. Vince teaches these eager teens what it is like to run a business, how to interact with customers and how to provide excellent service with a smile.

Over many years, Vince and his wife Kathy have given very much to our community and to numerous organizations in our area. He has been president of these organizations including the National Ice Cream Retailers Association. Vince served as chair of the town of Manlius zoning board for several years, and is serving a second term as councilor on the town board.

Now, Vince has the opportunity to take his leadership and experience to Albany. With economic growth high on his platform, Vince is the candidate who understands what it takes to bring jobs to CNY. He will work the hardest to achieve a better economic future for all of us.

Vince Giordano has always supported CNY, now it is our time to support him. Please join us in voting for Vince Giordano for 127th Assembly District on Nov. 8.
