Chris Collins Criticizes Kathy Hochul’s Wealth In Race For Congressional Seat
Posted in: Today's ChiliA wealthy Republican congressional candidate in western New York has launched a new website in an attempt to parody the source of his opponent’s wealth.
On Wednesday, Republican former Erie County Executive Chris Collins unveiled the website “Who Wants to be a Public Sector Millionaire” to raise money for his campaign and criticize how his opponent, Rep. Kathy Hochul (D), and her husband have made money. It comes a day after Hochul released her tax returns for the last three years, which showed the couple made $259,979 in government salaries in 2011. Hochul’s financial disclosure form says her net worth is between $1.05 million and $2.27 million, according to the Buffalo News.
“This website tells the story of the depth and history of Kathy Hochul’s reliance on taxpayer salaries and her failure to ever create even a single job,” Collins campaign manager Michael Kracker said in a statement. “Kathy Hochul attacks wealth and success achieved by small business owners like Chris Collins, but doesn’t want to acknowledge her own significant wealth that she earned on the backs of taxpayers.”
