SD-3: GOTV Rallies With Foley, Gov. Paterson And Attorney General Andrew Cuomo

Brian Foley is going to be the next senator in the 3rd Senate District. Sen. Caesar Trunzo's time as a state senator is over. It is time for retirement.

To make sure that happens tomorrow, Foley received some help over the weekend from two of the most powerful Democrats in New York.

On Saturday, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo headlined a rally and on Sunday Governor David Paterson headlined another GOTV rally for Foley.

The Foley for Senate campaign continues its momentum towards victory, following an electrifying weekend that included two Get Out the Vote Rallies featuring Governor David Paterson and Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.  Over 600 people attended the events. The campaign is surging in the final days as voters throw their support behind Brian X. Foley, who is seeking to retire 36-year incumbent Senator Caesar Trunzo.

On Sunday, Governor Paterson endorsed Foley for Senate during a Rally for Change event in Brentwood. Paterson pointed to Foley's record of fiscal responsibility and urged voters to support Foley to bring the change Albany needs in these weary times.    

Saturday's rally was headlined by Attorney General Andrew Cuomo who called on voters to elect Foley to the Senate. "I'm supporting Brian Foley because he will bring the same integrity and common-sense approach to Albany that he has used to turn around Brookhaven," said Cuomo.

Following both rallies, volunteers took part in a "Caravan for Change" that went through the 3rd Senate District, stopping at 10 busy locations where Foley and volunteers talked to hundreds of voters and reminded them to vote on Tuesday.

"Voters want change," said Foley, whose campaign is riding a strong wave of momentum into Election Day. "Our message of fighting for family interests not special interests is connecting with voters.  We're going to work tirelessly until 9pm on election night to bring the change to Albany that working families in Suffolk need."

Foley is a likely pickup for us tomorrow, but rallies and GOTV efforts like these will keep people energized and perhaps get undecided voters energized to vote for change.

I don't think they would have been pushing Foley that hard if he wasn't going to pull it out for them. I know you want to anoint yourself the "Swami of TAP" but I thank the state party and DSCC for stepping in and saying that Foley will win this thing and that is why he should be the candidate. I don't usually agree with such tactics (actually, I never do even in this instance where it worked out for us) but I commend the state Democrats for being persistent.
