Brad Schwartz is a native New Yorker who is running for one of the most highly contested State Senate seats in NY. In fact, his district has been referred to as the “Key to Albany” since it could single-handedly decide whether Democrats win Party control of the State. Why? Because, New York already has a Democratic Governor and Democratic Assembly. But its state Senate is almost evenly split; with Republicans holding a single-seat majority. That means, if Democrats can flip just ONE state senate seat, they could potentially win majority control of the entire NY state government! And Brad is running for THAT seat...

With 30% more registered Democrats than Republicans residing within Brad's district, his campaign is the Democratic...| read more ››

The strong and well deserved endorsement says, in part:

Both principal candidates in the Nov. 7 election, Democratic town board member Tracey Edwards and Republican state Assemb. Chad Lupinacci, are lifelong Huntington residents. But Edwards conveys more passion, and has a more granular knowledge of Huntington, how its government works, the town’s problems and the range of solutions.

Her common-sense approach stems from her impressive breadth of experience, including 37 years at Verizon, where she retired last year as regional president for operations and construction. Edwards, 55, of Dix Hills, also served as an Elwood school board member and town planning board chairwoman, and is Long Island regional director of the NAACP.
