John Hall is
the Democratic candidate for Congress in the 19th Congressional District
of New York in the lower Hudson Valley. His campaign will send a
speaker to address the Club at our October 19 meeting and ask for our
help in his campaign. The district covers northern Westchester, Putnam,
southern Dutchess, and Orange counties. John Hall is running against
the Republican incumbent, and we hope that his victory could help the
Democrats win a majority in Congress.
The next regular Executive
Committee meeting will take place at 7 pm on
Wednesday, October 25, 2006,
The Executive Committee generally meets on the Wednesday after
the monthly Club meeting.
The meeting will take place in the basement at
1205 8th Avenue, between 12th and 13th Streets in Park
Slope. We thank Warren Miner and Ellen Raider for hosting the
meeting.

AGENDA:
- We interviewed the following State Senate candidates in the 20th,
21st, and 25th State Senate Districts:
- Eric Adams (20th SD)
- Anthony Alexis (20th SD)
- Sen. Kevin Parker (21st SD incumbent)
- Conference Gbaje
(21st SD)
- Ken Diamondstone (25th SD)
It should be noted that - Sen. Martin Connor, the incumbent in the
25th SD has chosen not to attend.
- Sen. Carl Andrews, the
incumbent in the 20th SD, is not running for re-election, but is running
for Congress instead, so the 20th SD is an open seat.
The public is welcome to our monthly Club meetings, usually
held on the third Thursday of the month. Our regular monthly meeting
will be held at 7 PM on Thursday, April 20th,
at the Park Slope United Methodist Church, 6th Ave. &
8th Street. This month we will be meeting upstairs in the main
sanctuary of the church. Enter through the front doors of the church on

The State Democratic Convention was held in Buffalo on May 30 and 31,
and it nominated State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer for
governor, State Senate Minority Leader David Paterson for
lieutenant governor, Andrew Cuomo for attorney general, and State
Comptroller Alan Hevesi and U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton
for re-election to their offices. No other candidates got the 25% of
the vote required to appear on the ballot in the September 12
Democratic primary. Any challenger for State-wide office will have to
qualify to run in the primary by circulating petitions. Nassau County
Executive Thomas R. Suozzi, who did not seek nomination by the
convention, will challenge Spitzer for the gubernatorial nomination, and
Mark Green, who got about 19% of the delegate votes, will
challenge Cuomo for attorney general. Other candidates still in that
race are Charlie King, who polled about 5% in the convention, and
Sean P. Maloney, who got about 1%. Denise O'Donnell, who
received about 10% of the delegate votes for attorney general, has
withdrawn from the race. In the U.S. Senate race, Jonathan
Tasini, an anti-war activist, is mounting a petition challenge to
Sen. Clinton. See CBID
