Boccieri Receives Endorsement of National Farmers Union

Canton, OH - The National Farmers Union Political Action Committee has endorsed State Senator John Boccieri's candidacy for U.S. Congress in Ohio's 16th Congressional District.

The National Farmers Union is one of the largest general farm organizations in the United States, with a membership of a quarter of a million farm and ranch families nationwide.

The Farmers Union thanked Boccieri for his commitment to addressing "the public policy needs of family farmers, ranchers, and the communities in which they live."

Boccieri welcomed the Farmers Union's support saying:

"The 16th District includes some of the most agriculturally productive areas in Ohio, and in these tough economic times we need to stand up for our local farmers.

Ohio's farming communities need stronger representation in Congress, and I'm committed to controlling rising costs, developing rural infrastructure, and supporting new opportunities for agriculturally-based energy production that will help our farmers thrive."

This is great news for our candidate in his campaign to win election to the U.S. House of Representatives!
