PRESS RELEASE

Ian Phillips jumps through folding table in new ad

Auburn, NY — Ian Phillips, Democratic candidate for NY Assembly in District 126, is releasing a new TV ad this weekend, which will debut during the September 27th Bills vs. Chargers Fox Pregame Show and air on local stations in the Syracuse media market. 

In the ad, Phillips calls out rising energy prices and do-nothing politicians like his opponent, Republican Assemblyman John Lemondes, who take donations from energy utility and AI data center developers (Source: NYS BOE candidate filings for Friends of John Lemondes). Then, he jumps through a folding table to prove he’ll jump through anything for working families in Central New York.

Phillips says, “The issues are serious, but it's important not to take yourself too seriously.  I'm a lifelong Central New Yorker and a lifelong Bills fan.  And, like every Bills fan, I'm loyal, and I show up even when times are tough. This year is our year. It's time to take on the utility companies and data center developers and kick out the corrupt politicians on their team.”
