DFHMR Brings our Endorsed Candidates Over the Line

Written by: Hy Dubowsky on Sep 19, 2007 9:03 AM EDT

It was a perfect day for a primary and it ended with sweet victory parties for our endorsed candidates Doug Bullock winning his Albany County Legislative race and Ken Zalewski tromping his opponent in the Troy City Council race. The ususal suspects showed up at the parties hugging and whooping: Working Families Party, DFA'ers, Labor, Citizen Action volunteers and caring Democrats who chose to take back their neighborhoods and elect individuals who care about the people and not the politicians.

Then night was even sweeter as we heard Valerie Keehn, the Mayor of Saratoga Springs won her primary race against the establishment that sought to throw her and her progessive program out of City Hall. 

There's nothing magical about winning an election. It takes a team of great volunteers, some campaign leadership and a candidate who commits to going out day and night till the "fat lady sings". We'll all be back for Novemeber as we take Ken to the net as he scores a "goal", keep Vahl Keehn in City Hall and send tremors through the County as we elect Sue Haynes to the Brunswick Town Council.

 Rest today-we walk tommorow.
