Pataki endorses Hoffman

Former New York Gov. George Pataki endorsed Doug Hoffman last night, Conservative candidate for the 23rd Congressional District seat.

"As a businessman, and as a life-long resident of the North Country Doug Hoffman understands the need to lower taxes on working families, the need to stand tall against terror and he won’t back phony stimulus programs that fail to create the jobs we need and leaves a mountain of debt to our children," said Pataki.

The election will take place on Nov. 3, and the other candidates are Republican Assemblywoman Dierdre Scozzafava and Democratic candidate Bill Owens.
