Special Election February 9
Peter Harckham is the Democratic candidate running for the vacant seat in our Assembly district in the special election called by Governor Paterson for Tuesday, February 9.
As a member of the Westchester County Legislature representing our corner of Westchester, Pete has shown that he can get things done, and has made a positive difference for Lewisboro, with a special emphasis on protecting our water, in his current role as the Chair of the Committee on the Environment. It is this leadership that has led to his endorsement by the New York League of Conservation Voters for this election
Pete has 3 top priorities for state government:
- Pete is fed up with the mess in Albany. He wants to get government working for us again.
- Pete wants to cap state spending, reduce taxes, and cut waste from the budget.
- Pete will fight for Westchester's fair share of our tax dollars for schools, roads, and essential services.
The history of special elections suggests that we can expect voter turnout to be very low, perhaps only 10% of registered voters. This means your vote is even more important than usual; please make a special effort to vote on February 9 for Pete Harckham.
