New York Builder Elected State Assemblyman
 |
|
Amedore | On July 31, home builder and civic leader George Amedore of the Capital Region Builders & Remodelers Association was elected to the New York State Assembly. This was Amedore’s first run for public office. Thanks to a well run campaign and strong leadership skills, he was able to garner 2,800 more votes than his opponent.
Amedore gained local fame when his company built a home for the ABC television program "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." However, it takes more than celebrity to secure a vote and Amedore worked hard during the special election to bring attention to his proven business skills and political platform.
Upon victory, the 38-year-old Amedore was quoted in the Albany Times Union saying, “What I plan on doing is to roll up my sleeves, get my hands dirty and serve the people.”
As a home builder, Amedore will take his work ethic and practical knowledge to Albany and as an assemblyman will work for increased job creation, real property tax relief, safe neighborhoods and lower health care costs.
