Senator Greg Ball To Host 41st Senate District Republican Candidates Forum Series Kickoff

Senator Greg Ball (R,C,I-Patterson), Senate Republican Committee Co-Chairman, is proud to announce he will be hosting a series of Republican candidate forums for the 41st Senate District which includes parts of Dutchess and Putnam Counties. 

Senator Ball stated, "It is vital for the future of New York that we get the seat back and restore checks and balances to New York State government. We must rally the grassroots to ensure that the 41st Senate District is again represented by a fiscally conservative Senator who is not owned by extreme and dangerous, taxing and spending New York City interests. I am excited to host this kick-off forum where all interested Republican candidates are invited to participate. This will be a great chance to introduce themselves to voters across the district and build towards victory in November."

All candidates interested in seeking the 41st Senate District Republican nomination are invited and encouraged to attend. The public is also invited to attend and hear directly from the potential candidates about their qualifications and vision for a better New York.

What: 41st Senate District Republican Candidates Forum

When: Wednesday, December 4, 2013 at 7 PM

Putnam County Republican Committee Chairman Jim DiBella added, "There is no doubt we must win back the 41st Senate District and return competent leadership to represent Western Putnam in Albany. The Putnam County Republican Committee looks forward to participating in this forum series, and is pleased to co-host the kick-off event in Putnam Valley. We have a strong field of candidates, this will provide a prime opportunity to show off what they have to offer."

Dutchess County Republican Committee Chairman Mike McCormack stated, "Dutchess County needs a Senator that will fight for taxpayers and hard working residents not New York City interests. Now, more than ever, we must do all we can to spread the Republican message of prosperity and opportunity across the region and State. Thank you to Senator Ball for organizing these forums, the Dutchess GOP is excited to participate and help co-host these innovative community centered events." 

Forum series Co-Host New York State Rifle and Pistol Association (NYSRPA) President Tom King states, "The current Senator has failed to properly represent the residents of Putnam and Dutchess Counties. NYSRPA is proud to partner with Senator Ball and local groups to ensure a strong candidate emerges who will represent the true values of the residents of the 41st Senate District. Our members are encouraged to attend the forums and join in the effort to bring to light the need for a change in representation in this district." 

Senator Ball continued, "All citizens are encouraged to attend and participate in this kick-off forum and the subsequent forums we hold. Please join me on December 4th at the Putnam Valley VFW to engage in a conversation on moving our state forward."
