GENEVA — Mario Fratto has announced his candidacy to challenge in a primary Rep. Claudia Tenney in the 24th Congressional District, which includes Moravia, Summerhill, Locke and Sempronius, a rematch of the 2022 race.
“In 2022, I ran against Claudia Tenney because she was a career politician who wasn’t from here and didn’t share our values,” Fratto said in a release. “I opposed her votes to give over a $1 billion taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood. I disagreed with sending over $100 billion dollars to Ukraine while our own borders were assaulted by illegal migrants and fentanyl killing our citizens. And I was disgusted with her votes to support tax-payer funded sex change operations, and for a Red Flag law to take away our Second Amendment rights.”
“I am fighting for term limits, parental rights, traditional values, religious freedom, and against all mandates,” Fratto said.
Fratto’s family has lived in the district for five generations. He runs his family’s granite construction business.
In the 2022 primary, Tenney defeated Fratto, 17,630 to 13,150. George Phillips of Broome County took 1,967 votes.
