In western New York State, Jon Powers is running a campaign that has amazed political watchers. In fact, his campaign is so strong that Rep. Tom Reynolds, who he was running against, dropped out and retired this past week. Jon has taken all the skills he learned in the military and used them to run one of the most impressive efforts the district has ever seen, blowing away people with his fundraising, grassroots power, and organization. A week ago the Cook Political Report labeled this race as “likely Republican” – now they call it a toss up.
