(Alexandria, Virginia) – Legendary entertainer and seniors advocate Pat Boone has recorded a message to voters on behalf of the GOP congressional candidate for New York’s 18^th District, Nan Hayworth.

Boone made the recording today in his capacity as spokesman for the national non-partisan senior citizen group, the 60 Plus Association, which has more than 7.2 million senior supporters nationally, including more than 21,000 in the 18^th District of New York.

The recording can be heard here. The transcript — subject to an occasional Boone ad-lib — is below:

Hello Friend–This is Pat Boone. Yes, the Love Letters in the Sand guy.

I’m still singing at concerts, but today I’m calling on behalf of the 60 Plus Association to sing the praises of Nan Hayworth for Congress.

We need strong leaders in Washington like Nan Hayworth, who understands that Obamacare hurts seniors.

Nan Hayworth has been a champion for seniors, protecting Social Security and Medicare, and fighting to end the runaway spending that is bankrupting our country.

Friends this election is too important to sit out. So please join me, Pat Boone, in supporting a leader New York seniors trust, Nan Hayworth for Congress.

Thank you and God Bless.
