New York-Jun 21...Congresswoman Nan Hayworth (R-NY-19), a member of the House Financial Services Committee and the Congressional Job Creators Caucus, today endorsed businessman and Rye Town Supervisor Joe Carvin (R) for Congress in New York's 17th District (Westchester-Rockland).
Mr. Carvin, 57, a married father of three, is running in a Republican Primary for the House seat now held by Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D-WFP). Mr. Carvin is unanimously endorsed for the office by the Westchester and Rockland Republican and Conservative party committees.
"Joe Carvin has been a star as Rye Town Supervisor for the past four years and I'm confident he'll be one in Congress, too," Congresswoman Hayworth said. "I'm impressed that Joe has reduced town spending by 25% in just over three years, and he's lowered taxes every year he has held office. He has lived and worked on five continents; he'll bring deep and broad national and international business experience to Washington. We need all our Westchester and Rockland voters to head to the polls on Tuesday and help send Joe Carvin to Congress."
"It is an honor to be endorsed by Congresswoman Hayworth," Mr. Carvin said. "Dr. Hayworth is at the center of a new generation of leaders in Congress with the courage to do what's necessary to get this country back on track. I stand ready to fight alongside her in tackling the staggering national debt haunting our children's dreams and stifling American job growth. Congresswoman Hayworth also knows how to win in a tough race. I am grateful to have her on my team."
Joe Carvin was born and raised in Port Chester, NY. He graduated Cum Laude from Tulane University with a B.A. in International Relations and became a Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholar to Senegal where he was awarded an honorary degree from the United Nations Institute for Economic Planning and Development. He holds an M.B.A from New York University and an M.P.A. from Harvard University. He speaks fluent Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Wolof (a West African language). After working a number of years with Deutsche Bank he helped set up Altima Partners where he helps finance some of the largest farms in the world.

Mr. Carvin refuses to accept a salary as Rye Town Supervisor.
Joe Carvin maybe the best the republican party has to offer, but he did fail to pay over $90,000 in state income taxes three of the last six years–that's a fact. And he did vote to elect President Obama, who has a current approval rating of 12% among republicans: http://www.gallup.com/poll/155042/Obama-Averages-Job-Approval-May.aspx.
