Joe Biden Stops By

Vice President Joe Biden was in town recently for an event at Syracuse University with Secretary of the Treasury, Tim Geithner, and the Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan. While he was here he attended two high-profile fundraisers for local Democrats. Biden stopped by the OnCenter to headline a fundraiser for Congressman Dan Maffei. The VP also met with donors at a private event at the offices of Bond, Schoeneck & King, a Syracuse law firm, to raise money for Bill Owens, the Democrat candidate in the upcoming special election in New York’s 23rd congressional district. Governor David Paterson will schedule a special election when the seat’s current occupant, Republican John McHugh, is confirmed as Secretary of the Army. Bill Owens also recently picked up the endorsement of New York’s senior U.S. Senator, Chuck Schumer.
