Tonko Releases Introductory Campaign Ad


'Accomplishments' highlights results-driven candidate Paul Tonko and victories he has delivered for the Capital Region

CAPITAL  REGION - Transitioning from a hugely successful summer in Congress to  the final month of his campaign for re-election, Congressman Paul Tonko  will release his first campaign television advertisement on Tuesday.  'Accomplishments' reminds voters what they're getting when they choose  Tonko to represent them in Washington: a fighter who gets things done  and puts his community first.

"Voters are tired of negative ads. They want to hear why they should vote for someone, not more phony attacks that distract from the  challenges in front of us. I'm proud of my record of job creation,  defending basic rights, and leading the charge against climate change,  and I'm ready to get back to work for the people," said Tonko.

FULL SCRIPT: I've  never been afraid to tackle tough problems. As your Congressman, I’m  proud of what we’ve accomplished so far. Passing historic climate change  legislation and expanding clean energy with “green collar” jobs.  Fighting for reproductive rights against a radical Supreme Court.  Bringing thousands of new high-tech jobs to our neighborhoods. I’m Paul  Tonko and I approve this message because now, more than ever, we need  thoughtful leadership that gets results.

In addition to the  accomplishments listed in the 30-second ad, Tonko supported or helped to  deliver where voters have asked for action. The measures below were  passed by Tonko and Democrats in the House - and were opposed by  the majority of Republicans.

  • The most significant gun safety measures in 30 years
  • Prescription drugs capped at $2,000/year for seniors
    Capping insulin at $35/month for seniors
  • Historic investment in roads, bridges, & water systems
  • Expanded child tax credits
  • Strengthening voting rights
  • Fighting against price gouging by big oil
  • Codifying abortion rights, marriage equality, & contraceptive access
  • Health care for vets suffering from toxic exposure
  • School-based mental health care expansion
  • Food security for veterans in need
  • Insurance premiums lowered for 13 million
  • Student loan debt relief
  • $300 billion in deficit reduction


Tonko  has received endorsements from Planned Parenthood Action Fund,  BRADYPAC, National Association of Social Workers, NYS Public Employees  Federation, NYS United Teachers, NYS Nurses Association, Sierra Club,  NYS AFL-CIO, End Citizens United, NY League of Conservation Voters,  BlueGreen Alliance, NY Working Families Party, Civil Service Employees  Association, United Federation of Teachers, Transportation Workers Union  Local 100, and all local county Democratic committees. The campaign  anticipates further endorsements.
