Assemblyman David Buchwald<\/a> is going hard on gun control in his efforts to distinguish himself from the rest of the Democrat<\/a> contenders vying to replace Nita Lowey<\/a> in CD-17<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Example #1<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… In Westchester, Assemblyman David Buchwald has begun to collect endorsements and make a case for his selection as the democratic nominee … \u201cDavid and I have been colleagues and friends since he joined the White Plains Common Council<\/a>,\u201d said [White Plains Mayor Tom Roach<\/a>]. \u201cHis knowledge, perseverance and work ethic have served him and our community well. He has been relentless in advocating for reasonable gun safety rules …\u201d …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Example #2<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… I\u2019m not a glitzy guy. I\u2019m not a social media phenomenon. But I am someone who believes strongly in my progressive values. And more importantly, I\u2019m someone who knows that there\u2019s hard work ahead to turn those values into reality. I\u2019ve dealt with tough policy issues and delivered on everything from a law that allows the release of tax returns of politicians like Donald Trump<\/a>, to co-sponsoring the Reproductive Health Act, to taking pensions away from corrupt government officials, to successfully pushing for tougher gun laws …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Example #3<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“There are four Democratic candidates in the race to replace longtime Rep. Nita Lowey<\/a>, and three of them squared off Thursday night at a town hall. Rockland attorney Mondaire Jones<\/a>, state Assemblyman David Buchwald, and Sen. David Carlucci<\/a> touched on issues including gun violence at the event at SUNY Purchase<\/a>. “We need to take some of the measures we’ve adopted here in New York and take them nationwide,” said Buchwald, “So we can have finally a country where people don’t have to go to school fearing that they won’t come home.” …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Example #4<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… \u201cI fully support David Buchwald as he runs for Congress,\u201d said Mount Kisco Deputy Mayor Jean Farber<\/a>. \u201cThroughout his years serving our community, he has fought for our values and stood for greater government transparency and accountability. When it comes to gun violence and climate change, we need leaders who will take action \u2013 that\u2019s David.\u201d …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
