BINGHAMTON – Republican George Phillips, who lost to Congressman Maurice Hinchey a year ago, says he plans on taking on the popular Democrat in next year’s election.
The political climate was different last year, said Phillips. “If you look back to a year ago, we had a nation of voters frustrated,” he said. “They wanted change, they wanted reform, and unfortunately I think as this off-year election showed, voters are still feeling that same discontent, and I know those who took office, including new President Obama, ere promising change, but I think it’s too much of business as usual, the economy is struggling, government is still growing out of control and Americans are upset with the mess in government from the federal level to the state level to local government and property taxes.”
Phillips said he up to the challenge of running against Hinchey again and he is confident he can defeat him this time around.
