It’s an honor to be elected to serve as Chairman of the @ERIECOUNTYGOP! Thank you to my wife, my fellow officers and the men and women of the committee for the strong show of support.
On to victory in November!
I’ve had the pleasure of working with @RepBrianHiggins and his team for several years. They are truly @AbilityOneProg Champions and friends of @viawny and the larger blind community.
On behalf of the blind employees of the Ability One Program throughout the USA, VIA & @AbilityOneProg thanks the outstanding support, commitment & efforts @RepBrianHiggins has made to ensure continued employment for Americans who are blind.

For 100 yrs @viawny has helped the blind & visually impaired overcome challenges. We were happy to work alongside them in the fight to cut through federal bureaucracy & pass HR4920, protecting jobs for the blind & visually impaired at the Buffalo VA.

There is plenty of business for both veteran-owned small businesses and AbilityOne nonprofits, many of whom, like IFB Solutions, also employ a significant number of veterans. See how we are working to protect #JobsForTheBlind: https://t.co/rf24qlhEaQ

People who are blind or visually impaired are chefs, attorneys, computer programmers, nurses, artists, personal trainers, engineers, scientists, &
state supreme court judges. They work for @NASA, @Microsoft, @Aetna, @BankofAmerica, & Walgreens, among countless others. #NDEAM
Today is Day One of National Disability Employee Awareness Month! We will be celebrating all month long as we continue to educate people on how they may be able to support jobs for people who are blind. #NDEAM
This clip from @WTEN demonstrates exactly why we must reform our state's dated preferred service law. With a 70 % unemployment rate among those in our disabled community, we must #MaketheChange and create more opportunities for employment!

I'm not a software developer, but if I have to learn HTML coding techniques to make websites more accessible for blind and low vision individuals; I'll do it.
