    Shawn Morse, who is challenging incumbent Neil Breslin in a Democratic primary, criticized Breslin for receiving significantly more campaign funds from the insurance industry than any other Democratic senator. Data from the NYS Board of Elections shows Breslin raised nearly a quarter of his most recent funds from insurers and their lobbyists, more than twice as much as any other Democratic senator and nearly seven times the average. Morse accused Breslin of being "addicted" to insurance money and doing the industry's bidding by supporting policies that increase costs for the middle class. Morse said he wants more affordable healthcare and will fight for issues like raising the minimum wage.

    Morse: Breslin Addicted to Insurance Industry $$$


    Lobbyists Prescribe More Middle Class Pain and Suffering
    New BOE Data Shows Breslin Getting Over Twice As Much Money From Insurers and Insurance Lobbyists As Any Other Senate Democrat Troy, NY- Democrat Shawn Morse, who is challenging longtime incumbent Neil Breslin in a Democratic Primary in the 44th Senator District, today pounced on new Board of Election data showing Breslin raking in funds from the insurance industry at a far greater rate than any other Democrat in the New York State Senate. Breslin raised nearly a quarter of the funds in his most recent campaign finance filing from insurance companies and their lobbyists. His total take was more that twice as much as any other Democratic Senator, and nearly 7 times the average, as the chart below clearly demonstrates. Senator Breslin must be doing something to earn such loyalty from the insurance industry, as they shower him with cash and squeeze middle class families, said Morse. Hes addicted to their money, and their lobbyists prescribe actions that lead to more middle class pain and suffering. Im a Democrat. I want to make health care more affordable for working people and the middle class, but Senator Breslin wants to line his pockets with money from a Republican-dominated industry that keeps passing higher costs and burdens onto us. Senator Breslin is too focused on getting funds from big-business lobbyists to get his job done, said Morse. We need someone who can win the fight to raise the minimum wage, end unfunded mandates, cut property taxes, and get our fair share of school aid and infrastructure funds. Thats the Senator Ill bethe kind of Senator that Breslin has failed to be.
