The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) announced today that Randy Altschuler (NY-01) has reached 'Young Gun' status

"Randy Altschuler has proven that he's ready to take on Washington insider Tim Bishop, an out-of-touch Democrat who has blindly supported his party's failed agenda of job-killing policies and reckless spending," said NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions (R-TX). "Randy's campaign is a symbol of the growing momentum behind Republican candidates in New York and across the country. As Democrats and their party bosses continue to force  their big-government, big-spending policies onto the backs of hard-working families, Republicans like Randy Altschuler will continue to present a clear alternative to a Democrat majority that unapologetically spends too much, borrows too much and taxes too  much."

JOHN LeBOUTILLIER ENDORSES ALTSCHULER

Former Rep. Believes Altschuler Has What It Takes To Be a Great Congressman

Randy Altschuler, the conservative Republican candidate for Congress (NY-1), was endorsed today by former Long Island Congressman, Republican activist and political columnist John LeBoutillier.

John LeBoutillier said, “I am endorsing Randy Altschuler today because he understands the policies of Tim Bishop, Nancy Pelosi and President Obama are bankrupting our nation.

The Best Stimulus? Spend Less, Borrow Less

A fall in investment is normal in recessions. The problem this time is that corporate profits are rebounding fast, yet companies are extremely reluctant to reinvest them in new projects. “What I see out there is apprehension,” says Randy Altschuler, founder of CloudBlue, a recycler of used electronics equipment, and a Republican candidate for a seat in the House of Representatives from Eastern Long Island. “The owners of small companies I talk to are especially worried about health-care costs.
