We are just 1 seat away from taking back the State Senate from the roadblock Republicans. When we regain Democratic control of the Senate, we can make real progres on rent reform, marriage equality, the environment, and other important issues. But we need good Democrats like Don Barber to make this happen!

When: Tuesday, Oct. 21, time TBD.

Where: Home of Betsy Malcolm, 300 Central Park West in Manhattan, between 90th and 91st streets.

RSVP: To Daniel, at danielscot-at-gmail.com (replace -at- with @).

Don Barber is running for New York's 51st State Senate District (central New York State). Don is a true public servant, currently serving as the Town Supervisor of Caroline, in Tompkins County (Ithaca is the county seat.) As both a farmer and contractor, he is intimately aware of the needs of many New Yorkers, from the working class to small business owners. Don is a life-long environmentalist, has testified before US Congress to protect the Finger Lakes, and has been working on environmental initiatives in government since 1983.

Upset by the costs of health insurance in NY? So is Don. Don's opponent, Republican Jim Seward, chairs the Senate Insurance Committee and has consistently defended insurance companies over the rights of individuals by undermining progressive efforts for reform at the committee level.
