There are special elections this Tuesday in Monroe and Suffolk counties that give us an opportunity to engage in political activity.<\/p>\n
In Rochester<\/a>, there is a 3-way race for Mayor between former Mayor Bill Johnson<\/a>, Democrat nominee\u00a0Tom Richards<\/a> and Green Party candidate\u00a0Alex White<\/a>. \u00a0Johnson is not<\/span> our friend. \u00a0Having lost the Democrat nomination to Richards he is running on the Independence and WFP lines. \u00a0Normally not having major party backing would be enough to doom a campaign, however, Johnson has name recognition and at least some union support so it is conceivable that he could win as turnout is always very low for special elections. \u00a0It is worth the effort for gunnies to show up and vote against<\/span> Johnson.<\/p>\n In Suffolk<\/a>, Martin Haley<\/a> is running for county legislature in the Brookhaven district. \u00a0He previously served in the county legislature from ’96 – ’03. \u00a0During his tenure he helped to improve the pistol licensing process. \u00a0For this reason he has NYSRPA’s endorsement<\/a>.<\/p>\n As with all elections, vote early, vote often and vote gun rights.<\/p>\n
