Campaign website
McMurray’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Husband, father, and community leader, Nathan McMurray is uniquely qualified to serve the people of the 27th District. As Town Supervisor of Grand Island, Nate brings vitality and a fresh perspective to issues and challenges that have plagued the Island for many years. Nathan’s energetic, effective leadership has brought millions of dollars in business development to Grand Island. He has championed the State’s plan for a major hike and bike trail along the waterfront, secured Grand Island as the location for the State’s Western New York Visitors’ Center, and spearheaded removal of the much-despised toll barriers at the North and South Grand Island Bridges... Nate’s experience as Grand Island Town Supervisor has taught him important lessons. “We are barely scratching the surface of Western New York’s potential,” Nate says. “We have amazing people, wonderful natural resources, and unbelievable potential. With the right leadership and some hard work, there is no limit to what we can do!” With his wide-ranging experience, deep love for Western New York, and vision for our future: Nathan McMurray is the perfect fit for the 27th District.
