Assemblyman Joseph Giglio on Wednesday announced his bid for
re-election as the representative of the 148th Assembly District.
"Thank you all for your continued trust and faith in me,”
Giglio said in a press release. “There is still work to do so that my district
has a strong voice in the Assembly.“With your support we can keep our forward momentum in these
uncertain economic and political times. Western New York’s specific needs and
values deserve focused representation. I have fought, and will continue to
fight, for the people of the 148th Assembly District.”
In the release, Giglio noted his leadership role in the
Assembly Republican Conference’s efforts to repeal or modify recent bail reform
legislation.
“So-called ‘bail reform’ has damaged not just the public
safety of New Yorkers in general, but individual victims and their families.
Bail reform continues to put our citizens’ lives in danger, and I am determined
to repeal this law to avoid future tragedies.”
The district includes all of Allegany and Cattaraugus
counties, as well as the towns of Greenwood, Jasper, Troupsburg and West Union
in Steuben County.
