Young Democrats in NYC

Campaign Season 2006 Heats UpAs Young Dems Statewide "Help Take Back New York!"
September 2006

Dear Democrats,As the summer begins to cool down, the campaign season continues to heat up. Fellow democrats are running in competitive races throughout the state and need your help to win! The primary is this tomorrow Tuesday September 12, remind your friends, neighbors and family to get out and vote. Although, the work does not end tomorrow - as New York Democrats will still have some more work left ahead of us, if we are to take back New York this November. This year Democrats have the chance to sweep up all four statewide offices (Governor, Lieutenant Governor, NYS Attorney General and NYS Comptroller), as well as pick up 5 NY Congressional seats and control of the NY State Senate.Building on New York State Young Dem's success in the 2004 winning campaigns of State Senator David Valesky in Onondaga and Congressman Brian Higgins in Erie County, many of our local chapters are already impacting races in 2006. We are so proud of our local chapters with their unified determination to help "Take Back New York." With our Manhattan YDs helping a number of campaigns including the Andrea Stewart Cousins (www.andrea2006.com) run for State Senate in Yonkers, Staten Island YDs with Stephen Harrison (www.harrison06.com) race to topple Republican Congressman Vito Fossello, Dutchess County YDs in the Brian Keeler (www.keeler2006.com) race in the 41st State Senate District, Queens County YDs and Albany County YDs with their ongoing GOTV efforts and the rest of our Young Dem Leaders statewide helping good Democrats.Still, there are other New York Democrats fighting in tough races against incumbent Republican members of Congress and the New York State Senate this fall that can still use your help. Join us as we campaign for Dave!
This week's featured "Take Back New York" Democrat Candidate Campaign is the Dave Mejias Campaign www.daveforamerica.com.

On Saturday September 16, New York Young Dems will be traveling to the 3rd Congressional District to help Nassau County Legislator and Congressional Candidate Dave Mejias continue his surging momentum against Congressman Peter King. Join us as we campaign for Dave! RSVP at Info@YoungDemsNY.Org (including your name, phone and county).Additionally as a statewide effort, the New York State Young Democrats are also continuing to focus our efforts on raising political awareness among young people and in identifying new Democrats throughout the state, through a series of regional "YoungDems After Dark'06" events. Building on the successes of our past YoungDems After Dark in 2004 w/Senator Schumer and on this year's Downstate Region event with some dozen state/local electeds attending in New York City in August, additional YoungDems After Dark'06 events are in the works.Take a moment to check out our schedule of recent and upcoming events below, as I would hope that you would take advantage of these great opportunities.Democratically yours,Frieda
