Gies Discusses Ongoing Town Hall Tour as Election Day Nears

The Democrat challenger in this Fall's election for the 23rd Congressional District is continuing to host in person, town hall meetings leading up to election day. Olean's Aaron Gies says he's now completed about three-dozen of those sessions across the district, and hopes to have hosted 100 by November 3rd. He says he's doing it to draw a contrast with his opponent - incumbent Republican Nick Langworthy. However, Gies adds it's also important to meet people and hear what they have to say...

Aaron Gies: There are people in smaller towns who never see a congressional candidate.

Gies says affordability remains the biggest issue he's heard about on the campaign trail, and says there's a lot to be done regarding that issue...

Aaron Gies: There's a lot we can do to make a good life affordable.

Gies kicked off his 100 town halls at the Prendergast Library in Jamestown earlier this Summer.
