So, I picked up a copy of Artvoice yesterday to find their cover story this week is an interview with Brian Higgins about the public option. Are we supposed to be impressed that Brian Higgins spoke about this issue with a left/wing publication that is as likely to factcheck Higgins as they are likely...

Can we watch hockey without getting a political lecture?  Please?  Apparently, the answer is “Nope” regardless of how poorly the two subjects go together.  The Buffalo Sabres aired a packaged segment during the first intermission of Saturday’s game based upon the suspicious notion...

Imagine if the National Republican Congressional Committee had supported Doug Hoffman from the start.  Instead of throwing money at a left-winger who remained on the ballot after she quit and repaid the organization by endorsing her erstwhile Democratic foe, Hoffman would be running for re-election...

The Buffalo Bean recently had the opportunity to interview Dan Humiston, candidate for U.S. Congress in New York’s 27th district. The interview was conducted via email and is posted below: THE BUFFALO BEAN: You were quoted in the Buffalo News last week saying that when things are bad “you...

While Brian Higgins voted for the massive bailout plan that failed yesterday, Dan Humiston has come out against the bailout, saying it is the wrong answer to our economic crisis. “I am firmly against a plan that requires innocent Western New Yorkers to clean up the financial mess that greed on Wall...

This news release from the Federal Election Commission apparently missed the radar of the Buffalo News:  WASHINGTON — The Federal Election Commission (FEC) cited four campaign committees today for failing to file the Pre-Primary Report required by the Federal Election Campaign Act (the Act) for...

Dan Humiston, who is running against incumbent Brian Higgins in the 27th district, called on Higgins today to “promise the people of Western New York that he won’t take another vacation until Congress passes a comprehensive American Energy Plan that includes off-shore drilling.” The Buffalo...

Yesterday, Rep. Brian Higgins argued that the current downward trend of gas prices means we do not need to drill for our own oil. Rep. Brian Higgins said Friday he doesn’t oppose drilling for more oil but questioned the utility of that as a near-term solution to high fuel prices and said oil companies...

Last week was another busy week for Dan Humiston. Back on Tuesday, Dan Humiston called on Congress to get back to work and solve the energy crisis. “Americans can’t afford to wait until the middle of September for Congress to address the energy crisis,” Humiston said.  “With gasoline over...

From the inbox: Independence and Republican Congressional candidate Dan Humiston spoke last night at the Jamestown Republican 300 Club event held at the American Legion.  Humiston shared his vision of progress and growth saying, “The people of Western New York are struggling financially.  They need...

It’s amusing to see that once I started going after Rep. Brian Higgins for failing to get results for his constituents (particularly his abandoning the tearing down of the Skyway for at least another decade) that suddenly a bunch of liberals come out of the woodwork defending Higgins and touting...

Dan Humiston, the Republican-endorsed candidate for Congress in the 27th congressional district, attended the John McCain fundraiser last night at the Albright-Knox Gallery. He was kind of enough to answer a few questions I had about the fundraiser, since the media and local liberal bloggers seem more...

Jack Davis attacked Jon Powers the other day for accepting contributions from strip-club owner Richard Snowden, so in order to be fair, it is worth noting that Rep. Brian Higgins also accepted contributions from Snowden and his wife… In fact, they each donated the maximum $4,600… and $9,200...

Progress was made today in the renaming of a stretch of Route 20A in Orchard Park (near Ralph Wilson Stadium) after Tim Russert, when the House of Representatives approved a resolution previously passed by the Senate last month. All it needs now is to be signed by President Bush. US Senators Charles...

Dan Humiston’s campaign announced that he will run uncontested on the Independence line in the 27th district against Rep. Brian Higgins. After meeting with state and local party representatives this weekend, Erie County Independence Party Chairman Tony Orsini confirmed the party’s support of...

I hate the Skyway. I drive over it twice everyday of the week, and it sucks. When I moved here in March, it was the thing I was least looking forward to. I must admit that I was pleased when I discovered that Brian Higgins was a strong advocate for tearing the thing down… In fact, it’s one...
