Carl is a job creator and conservative outsider who will provide Western New York and the Southern Tier with strong representation and leadership. Carl will be a tireless fighter for the people of New York in our fight to put America First to save the country,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think I can be an effective given my history and background. This area deserves a conservative representative.\u201d Paladino, now 75, said.
