The Pound Ridge Democratic Committee

Peter Harckham’s acceptance speech at Thursday’s special convention.

Tonight the Westchester County Democratic Committee members from the 89th Assembly District overwhelmingly nominated our County Legislator Peter Harckham to run for the seat vacated by White Plains Mayor (and former Assemblyman) Adam Bradley.

The Pound Ridge Democrats are proud to support our good friend Peter all the way to Albany!

The special election to fill the seat will be held on February 9.

“Off-off Year” election?  In Bedford and Pound Ridge, these were “on-on.”  This fall was as exciting on a local level as we can remember.

The Pound Ridge Democrats are back.  They ran their best campaign in recent memory without any of the inner divisiveness and bickering that plagued past elections.  Alison Boak and Andrew Brodnick made excellent showings and Roslyn Stone Pollock showed leadership skills as a committee chair.

Only one candidate, Pound Ridge Dem Alison Boak said that party affiliation does make a difference.  ”I do think it does matter what lines you run on and what party you are because different parties have different principles and different reputations and they have agendas and visions for our country and those visions start in towns.”
