THOMAS BOOMHOWER ANNOUNCES CAMPAIGN FOR NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY IN THE 102ND DISTRICT

CATSKILL - Thomas Boomhower (D-Catskill) today announced his campaign for New York State Assembly in the 102nd District, entering a race for the seat currently held by Assemblyman Chris Tague (R-Schoharie). Boomhower is positioning himself as the candidate most equipped to address the concerns facing Upstate New Yorkers. 

“The fact of the matter is we’re facing a cost of living crisis. Life has become unaffordable for too many of us. It costs too much for people to provide for their families, to put food on their tables, or heat their homes,” Boomhower said, “... and people are being priced out of their homes, out of their communities.” 

In order to address the wide variety of concerns impacting residents across the 102nd Assembly District, a comprehensive approach is necessary to tackle these issues. With robust experience in economic development, local government, and statewide advocacy, Boomhower enters the race with the knowledge and experience necessary to improve the quality of life for families across the region. 

“Smart economic development is critical for ensuring our communities and small businesses remain viable and competitive,” said Boomhower. “When you take a holistic approach to the issues facing our region, with a commitment to centering local voices, we can work together to ensure our friends and neighbors are kept in business, and not priced out of the places they call home.” 

In addition to his focus on fighting the cost of living crisis by strengthening the economic outlook of our communities, Boomhower looks to address the scarcity in comprehensive healthcare and child care options for families across the 102nd District, and champion locally focused housing development.
