Statement from U.S. Senate Candidate Bob Turner on Winning Ballot Status at the New York State Republican Convention

"This was an amazing victory for a campaign that began just 72-hours ago.  I am enormously grateful for all the support I received at the convention and I am energized to deliver my message of job growth and fiscal responsibility in every corner of this state.  Senator Kirsten Gillibrand does not deserve re-election. She defrauded the voters of this state with promises that she would act as a moderate.  Instead she has governed from the far left, and is now ranked the most liberal senator in America. That is a firing offense. 

"This campaign has just begun.  My team and I will be working non-stop from now until Election Day to address the critical jobs and economic issues of our times."
