We’ve made our first endorsement for the fall elections, Greg Ball for Senate in SD-40 (Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess). It’s an open seat. He has to get through a Republican primary against Somers Town Supervisor Mary Beth Murphy and possibly former judge Jim Borkowski. The winner (Greg) will face Westchester County Legislator Michael Kaplowitz in November. Kaplowitz has run and lost before. He also had an undesirable interest in “smart guns” while in the county legislature.
