Steven is running to represent you, the people; not the special interests or lobbyists.Let’s show how strong our determination and motivation to get the government out of our lives and pocket books. Let’s show them how strong our grassroots in the 21st District is so they can hear about it in Washington. But we need your help to make this happen. Starting on June 3rd, the petition drive begins to collect as many signatures as possible to show a strong showing for the primary. We need as many able bodies to go around your own neighborhoods to have people simply sign the petition. It will only take a couple of hours a night, but it will go a long way towards spreading freedom. It is also a lot of fun.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — An incumbent congressman says he will back Dale Sweetland in this year’s congressional race. A state assemblyman, who was challenging Sweetland, backs out of the race. Relief for local party leaders, hoping to avoid a primary battle.
But they forgot to check with David Gay.
Gay is best known in local political circles for his work in local organizing for the presidential campaign of maverick republican Ron Paul, a candidate who shares Gay’s views on reducing government and staking out a pro-life position. And also a strong opposition to the war in Iraq.
He too had sought support from the Onondaga republican committee, but received less than one percent of the vote. He says he expected that outcome, claiming the committee was going down the same road it followed when it chose Sweetland to run for Onondaga County Executive in 2007.
“The republican committee, the higher-ups in the republican party, said to the voters of Central New York, this is Dale Sweetland. This is your guy. And they said no. They said, Joanie Mahoney’s our girl. Let’s go for Joanie Mahoney. And she won,” Gay said.
Gay won’t make much of an effort in further committee votes in the congressional district in Cayuga, Wayne and Monroe counties. Though not committing to one yet, he says he will make preparations for a primary challenge.
“Have to circulate my petitions and talk to the voters and let them know that my message is in support of them and not just in support of a particular political party or political agenda,” said Gay.
Gay is setting no timetable for making a decision on a primary challenge. And at this point, he says he’s still open to talks with Dale Sweetland. But what would he need to hear?
“Dale Sweetland would have to tell me that his plans for Congress are to actively work to reduce the size and scope of government to its constitutional limits,” Gay said. “And unless he can tell me that that’s his exact plan, I can’t support him.”
So for now, Gay says he’ll continue organizing and raising money for a possible battle ahead.
If Gay decides to launch a primary, he will need to collect 1,250 signatures on petitions. Petitions would begin circulating in the district in late June.

Add the name Steven Vasquez to theSteven Vasquez is seventh candidate for congressional seat
By CAROL DeMARE, Staff writer
First published: Saturday, March 22, 2008 list of candidates seeking the 21st Congressional District seat being vacated by Democrat Michael McNulty.
Vasquez, a 33-year-old businessman, is a Republican who would have to run in a primary against Jim Buhrmaster, a Schenectady County legislator who on Wednesday became the first Republican to announce his candidacy. Vasquez is the seventh announced candidate for the seat; five Democrats are also in the running.
Though he’s a resident of the Saratoga County community of Ballston Lake –
outside the 21st district — it shouldn’t present a legal obstacle to his candidacy. According to Charlie Diamond, a longtime McNulty aide, election law allows anyone who lives in the state to run for a congressional seat, so Vasquez should be covered if he fulfills his promise to move into the district if elected.
The district stretches over seven counties. The only part of Saratoga County inside the district is the town and village of Waterford.
“It shouldn’t be an issue,” Vasquez said. “I’ve been a Capital District resident for over half of my life, and I’ve worked in the 21st District, including Troy and Albany, and I’ve associated with people in the community,” he said.
His Web site, http://www.steven2008.com, says that after graduating from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, he started ReQuest, a consumer electronics company that makes high-end stereo equipment. His Web site creditVasquez with inventing the consumer media server back in 1997 with the AudioReQuest MP3 home digital music system.
His interest in running for political office stems from his background, he said. “I’m a tech-savvy entrepreneur who knows how to bring jobs to Tech Valley,” he said. “New York is overburdened with taxes, and that creates barriers to businesses that want to move into the state as well as those looking to find jobs in the area.”
The New York City native also cited a need “to focus on fixing our fiscal house and taking care of Social Security. With the economy in a recession, the dollar falling, rising gas and food prices, the mortgage crisis, and massive deficit spending, Washington has the wrong priorities,” he said.
Vasquez received his bachelor’s degree from RPI in 1996 and two master’s degrees in 1998, one in business administration from RPI’s Lally School of Business and another in engineering.

21ST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT — A second Republican has announced that he is entering the race for the 21st Congressional District seat, which could set the stage for a Republican primary.
Steven Vasquez, 33, of Ballston Lake, a self-described Tech Valley entrepreneur who started an electronics company called ReQuest, said he will work full time on his candidacy.
He decided to run to “stop wasting money so we can protect seniors and veterans.” He said the key issue is the economy and he will “fight to make hard choices to stop Congress from deficit spending that robs Social Security.”
Vasquez said the reason taxes are so high is because Congress is spending massive amounts of money, which is hurting the economy, increasing the deficit and forcing the country to borrow money from Communist China and Saudi Arabia.
Congress — both Democrats and Republicans — has been taking money from Social Security surplus funds for decades, he added.
U.S. Rep. Michael McNulty, D-Green Island, who has held the seat for 20 years, is not running for re-election.
The U.S. Government Accountability Office said that as baby boomers enter retirement age in the next 20 years, the federal government will go broke and not be able to fulfill its obligations, leaving taxpayers holding the bill for more than $500,000 per household, according to Vasquez.
The U.S. country is reaching the threshold of how much the government can borrow vs. how much it can produce.
“I would create a firewall and stop Congress from being able to loot the trust funds. That alone won’t save it, but it would buy time to help Congress stop wasting money overseas.”
Vasquez, who is single, has not run for elected office before but has worked on political campaigns including Ron Paul’s recent run for president.
A graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, Vasquez said he created manufacturing and engineering jobs in Tech Valley by co-founding ReQuest, a consumer electronics business.
He now serves on the ReQuest board.
“I am a tech-savvy entrepreneur, and I know how to bring jobs to Tech Valley. What’s happening in New York is that we are more highly taxed than elsewhere in country. It’s creating barriers for people who would like to move in and get jobs.”
He said he’s excited by the number of candidates in the race. “It will allow voters a real choice. It should be a good race. I think I will win. I have the ability to take on hard choices most other candidates won’t talk about.”
Earlier this week, Jim Buhrmaster, a business owner and Schenectady County legislator, became the first Republican to announce he would run for McNulty’s seat.
The Democrats who have announced their candidacies are: Gary Mittleman, founding CEO of Plug Power; Phil Steck, Colonie Democratic chairman; Tracey Brooks, a former aide to U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton; Darius Shahinfar, a former aide to U.S. Rep . Kirsten Gillibrand; and Lester Freeman, an Albany Democratic activist.
Former Democratic assemblyman Paul Tonko, president and CEO of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, is considering a run.
McNulty has not endorsed any of the candidates.
The district covers parts of Fulton, Rensselaer and Saratoga counties and all of Albany, Montgomery, Schenectady and Schoharie counties.
It has a majority of Democrats with 41 percent; 28 percent of voters are Republicans and 31 percent are not enrolled in either major party.

ALBANY, N.Y. — In the race for Mike McNulty’s seat in Congress we’ve seen one person after another jump into the race. Half a dozen, most with some political pedigree made the standard “I’m running” announcement.
But, political newcomer Steven Vasquez quietly announcing by press release that he’s running for Congress is just one way he’s trying to show he’s not your cookie cutter candidate.
“I will win, I’m the person who will make the hard choices,” said Vasquez.
Vasquez was born in Queens, moved upstate to go to college, graduated from RPI with two masters’ degrees and started a successful tech business called ReQuest. He said New York must do more so high tech business request to the Empire State.
“The Triangle in North Carolina, and Silicon Valley; they encourage business to come in and people to come in by reducing the taxes,” said Vasquez.
Vasquez said he’s a fiscally conservative Republican and said the federal government needs to stop spending in 20 years or the country will be broke.
He said we need less spending overseas with fewer troops fighting wars around the world.
Vasquez said we need a balanced budget and stop taking money out of programs for seniors and veterans.
“The federal government is going to run out of money. And it is not going to have any money to pay for national defense or any other program if we don’t make changes now,” Vasquez said.
Vasquez doesn’t live in the district. He calls Ballston Lake home, which is just across the border. He said he’s deeply tied to the Capital Region and doesn’t think it will make a difference with voters.
Something we won’t find out until this fall.

To All my supporters-
First, I would like to thank everyone who has donated to my campaign in the last couple of weeks.
So far, I’ve raised about $4,000. This has helped purchase flyers, postage, and bumper stickers. My next goal is lawn signs for my entire district.
I will be organizing a “sign-bomb” in my entire district on May, 26th, the day I plan to announce my intention to primary. In order to do this, I need to raise $2,500 more by this weekend, so I can get an order in on time for delivery.
If you’ve donated in the past, please don’t stop now! I need all the help I can get!
