Tom Cummings, my lifelong friend, wrote a beautiful letter that he said to share. The full text is below in case it's hard to read image:

Dear Chairperson,

I'm writing to you as a lifelong Republican, who served in our military during the Vietnam Conflict and as a long standing friend of Montgomery County GOP Chairman Ron Barone and NY-21 Congressional candidate Anthony Constantino. 

I've known Anthony for nearly 40 years, since he was 3 years old, when I went to work for his father. He's demonstrated leadership and compassion for people since a young age. When he was 19 years old, he called me, unexpectedly, to ask for my help restructuring his late father's business. 

Anthony spent his sophomore summer working long hours, with me, to save the company from near bankruptcy. He easily earned the admiration of employees and showed great skill by navigating a difficult situation with calm. 

At my suggestion Anthony took control of operations after attending RPI. He surprised me by seeking my help again when the 2008 financial crisis hit. During this period, I saw his unusually strong commitment to people. He actually refused to take a salary despite paying me well. 

Anthony is a person of strong conviction. We often argued forcefully with each other and one such disagreement led to Sticker Mule. Anthony insisted the Internet was the future. I had never used it. He persuaded me of its merits and 3 months later we cofounded Sticker Mule with his brother. 

Sticker Mule took off at Anthony's direction. He beat every competitor, including well-funded ones, while never accepting funding from anyone other than myself. He's always his own person. 

Despite our 40 year age difference, Anthony is one of my best friends. We often fished together and had many intense debates despite our tendency to view the world similarly. Anthony is a strong conservative thinker and fighter who will be a tremendous asset to the Republican Party. 

He has great integrity, will always do what's right for the people, and succeeds at whatever he does. He even surprised me by, against my advice, securing multiple knockouts in professional boxing. 

When he told me he was going to run for Congress, I also advised him against it, to which he responded, "If not me, then who?" 

You will not find anyone better than Anthony Constantino to represent the Republican Party and people of New York's 21st Congressional district. 

Regards,

Tom Cummings

P.S. Anthony’s Dad taught me that people always read the P.S. So please take my words to heart. I promise that you will be happy you did.
