Richard Moody provides a brief introduction in The Daily Mail to potential congressional challenger, Brian Flynn of Hunter. Flynn, along with six other Democrats, have declared their intent to seek the 19th Congressional District seat, currently held by Kinderhook Republican John Faso. Flynn, a Democrat, filed to run on March 1. "We talked about how John Faso betrayed his constituents for the alt-right and how we needed to find someone to replace him," Flynn said. "My friend said, ‘Well, why don’t you run?’" Flynn runs AccuMED, a Buffalo medical equipment manufacturing company. His list of priorities include investing in job training, transportation infrastructure, broadband infrastructure and fighting the heroin and opioid epidemic. "Jobs are available here, but people are not qualified to take them," Flynn said. According to his March filing with the Federal Election Commission, Flynn has a campaign war chest of approximately $175,000 on hand. He said one of his greatest sources of funding right now are former Faso supporters. Read the full story in The Daily Mail.
