Dear neighbor, I am running for State Senate because I believe that I can help the Republicans in the state House and Senate build on their successes of this past legislative session by voicing the common sense values that we share as hard-working taxpayers. As a small business owner with a young family, I know what it takes to make a payroll and I believe in spending every dollar wisely. As a Town Councilman in Watertown entering my fourth term, I know all too well what the problems are that face small towns like ours. And as someone who has run for public office successfully four times in Watertown, I know what it takes to win tough elections. The special election for the 32nd District State Senate seat will inevitably be a tough battle as the Democrats seek to increase their veto-proof majority in the Senate, and I can assure you that I am up to the challenge of being your voice in the State Senate. Sincerely, Rob Kane
