Congressional candidate Sandy Treadwell and his wife Libby will conclude his campaign with a 72-hour tour of the 20th Congressional District that will include stops in local communities in all 10 counties of the district.
The tour will be launched at Treadwell's headquarters at the Shoppes at Halfmoon on Route 9 at 5:30 p.m.
They will be joined on the first leg of the tour - in Columbia and Dutchess counties - by former governor George Pataki.
"Grassroots politics is all about local communities and I am looking forward to this road trip, which will give me the chance to meet people in their hometowns at neighborhood coffee shops, diners, and other local venues," Treadwell said. "I will be traveling all day and throughout the night to reach out to residents, shake hands, say hello, and talk about the issues that concern them."
More than 220 miles in length, the 20th Congressional District covers an immense geographic area. Treadwell and company will be traveling in an RV, which the candidate says "is the best way to keep us moving, meeting people, and gaining momentum for Election Day."
The Treadwells will be joined by local elected officials, community leaders and supporters throughout the district.
