| (Full disclosure: I live in AD-139.)
 In New York's 139th Assembly District, Harold Suhr has announced that he will run against Republican Steve Hawley.
Hawley has been considered a possible contender in the 61st Senate District race as well as the 26th congressional district race.
Suhr (pronounced SURE) said the following in a letter to supporters: "With the challenges New Yorkers will face in the coming months and years, the 139th Assembly District deserves someone who will fight for our fair share of state tax revenue while promoting fiscal responsibility. We deserve someone who represents the call for change that is sweeping our nation, and not an entrenched, ineffective politician."
Harold is a great man and without a doubt the hardest worker I know. He told me an interview several months ago that he used to work up to 20 hours a day. When I asked him yesterday if he would sit down with me on Sunday at 1 p.m., he said he would take a short nap and then be up for the day.
He works until 8 a.m.
He hits the pavement and told supporters yesterday at his announcement that his campaign will be "grassroots." That's what Harold is all about.
I'll have video of this up later. |
