Departments Election Issues Working families party update The most important political task, TOMORROW, is the Annabel Palma election in the Bronx. Annabel is a WFP candidate for City Council, and is taking on a very powerful Bronx political family. If Annabel wins the Democratic primary tomorrow, she will be poised to run a strong WFP-Democrat race in November against Republican and Independence Party candidates. Starting as a health care aide to senior citizens, Annabel then became a health and safety specialist for her union, SEIU 1199. [George W. Bush didn't get a job until he was 40, and his main idea for senior citizens is to gut their/our Social Security benefits]. A product of the public school system, Annabel put herself through Bronx Community College while raising her son, now 13. [In Ann Richard's immortal phrase, George W. Bush "was born on third base but thought he had hit a triple"]. We could go on, but you get the point. OTHER WFP CANDIDATES TO WATCH Local elections don't get much of a spotlight. Still, they are crucial building blocks for the WFP as we try to advance good IDEAS and good PEOPLE. Coming up between now and November, keep your eye on: Tom SEALS WFP candidate for Syracuse Common Council Larry DeANGELIS WFP candidate for Nassau County Legislature Letitia JAMES WFP candidate for NYC City Council Jim DUNCAN WFP candidate for Cheektowaga Supervisor (Erie County) Mike DIEDERICH WFP candidate for Rockland County District Attorney Jason ALIOTO WFP candidate for Chili Supervisor (Monroe County) Jose ALVARADO & Andrea STEWART-COUSINS WFP candidates for Westchester Legislature And many more besides. It's not easy to be a good elected official. But by recruiting good candidates and building a community and labor base strong enough to hold them accountable, progress is possible. We hope you are pleased with the WFP's progress in local races in your area, and that you'll do your share by voting, volunteering, phoning, giving money, telling your friends, or whatever you can to make New York, and America, a better place. That's it. Read the papers, pay your dues, and... Organize. www.workingfamiliesparty.org Jim Duncan, Bertha Lewis, Bob Master WFP Co-Chairs Dan Cantor Executive Director |
