Eric Massa Biography

Eric Massa is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on September 16, 1959 in Charleston, South Carolina, United States. Eric James Joseph Massa (born on 16th September 1959) is an ex- American politician who was an U.S. Representative for the 29th Congressional District of New York. A Democrat and a member of Congress between January 2009 to March of 2010. Massa was forced to resign amid a pending House Ethics Committee investigation into allegations of sexual indiscretions. Massa acknowledged his declining health and the ongoing ethics probe as the primary reasons behind his resignation. However the former congressman later admitted the reason was that there had been a plot “to oust him because he had voted against overhauling health care.”

After conceding defeat the previous year, Massa began preparations for a second match against Kuhl in the year 2008. The race was extremely close throughout the campaign. However, Massa was victorious, defeating Kuhl 51 percent to 49% (a difference of around 4000 votes) however Kuhl was not quick to admit defeat. The voting machines were all confiscated upon Kuhl’s request (pending the re-count) which included the absentee ballots of 12,000 being counted. The recount resulted in the margin of victory to 55,000 votes in favor of Massa and Kuhl accepted the defeat on November 20.

On October 10, 2009, Massa announced his plans for re-election, saying, “I don’t want to play games with people about speculation, I want to be very direct and candid.”

During the 2009 Netroots Nation convention held in Pittsburgh, PA, Massa told a group of activists that he “will vote adamantly against the interests of my district if I actually think what I am doing is going to be helpful” in regard to a single-payer health care system. Moments later Massa clarified that he meant he would vote against the “opinions” of his constituents if he thought it was the right thing to do. He also controversially exclaimed that Sen. Chuck Grassley’s comments describing end-of-life care as “killing Grandma” constitute “an act of treason.”

After his retiring from military service, Massa moved to Corning, New York, to work for the Corning Glass Company as an assistant project manager for the Corning Photonics division. An ex- Republican and a former Democrat, he resigned his party due to issues related to war in the Iraq War, among other issues. He also ran for president for the state of New Hampshire during the unsuccessful presidential campaign that his boss Wesley Clark.

Many reports attribute Massa’s victory to the majority it won with voters in Cattaraugus County, which voted for Kuhl in the years 2004 and 2006, and in the latter case by a little over 4000 votes more than Massa. Other reports mention the 57%-43% gap in votes Massa received in the part of the district that is located inside Monroe County, essentially southern suburbs of Rochester typically the most Democratic section within the district (which also voted for Massa in 2006, and had voted to support Samara Barend back in 2004).

In 2006, Massa chose to run in the 29th District on the strength of his military background, which it was hoped would appeal to veterans and to independents who favor a strong defense policy. During the campaign, Massa positioned himself as strongly opposed to the Iraq war and unrestricted free trade, favoring instead fair trade. Other issues in his platform included expanding farm aid programs, as well as bringing homeland security money to the 29th District.

On March 7, 2010, in his weekly radio address on WKPQ, Massa accused White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel of orchestrating the ethics investigation in an effort to intimidate other first-term Democrats who oppose the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Massa claimed that there was a conspiracy “to oust him because he had voted against overhauling health care.” Massa placed specific blame for his resignation on Emanuel, stating that Emanuel “is the son of the devil’s spawn… He is an individual who would sell his mother to get a vote. He would strap his children to the front end of a steam locomotive.” Massa also commented on the following alleged confrontation with Emanuel in the congressional gym locker room: “I am sitting there showering, naked as a jaybird, and here comes Rahm Emanuel, not even with a towel wrapped around his tush, poking his finger in my chest, yelling at me because I wasn’t going to vote for the president’s budget… He goes there to intimidate members of Congress… He’s hated me since day one, and now he wins. He’ll get rid of me, and this bill will pass.” A Democratic spokesperson denied the existence of the alleged conspiracy.
