Does that mean that if nominated you won't campaign, and if elected you wont serve/lol?

Council Member -

You have been corrected and taken off the list (sort of). Is there a different list we should put you on?

Let the Spitz Team know here or email us.

I am not running for Mayor.

I am not running for Comptroller.

I am not running for Boro President.

AND I am not retiring from public service.

That's all I know right now. Some of us are not in an absolute panic. I am just trying to do the job I have as well as I can. How better to be prepared for wahtever the future opportunities there may be?

Lew would be great at any position.  I believe that he is a part of a dying breed, an elected official that really cares!!!  He has been good to the community for many years.  I am not surprised, his mother and father were both champions for the community.  Lew do what fits you I/we are with you.  I/WE REMEMBER YOUR GOOD WORK. Stay Strong.

First, thank yuo Willie for the very kind words.

 

And for EnWhy, I am not a candidate for Public Advocate. I have NO desire whatsoever to be a Judge,much to my mother's consternation. i would NEVER run against Joe Hynes who I believe is and has been a terrific DA, a great mix of tough and progressive.

AND I AM NOT RETIRING FROM PUBLIC SERVICE.

LOL

I think Lew is holding out, hoping that Hillary gets elected president so he can run for her open U.S. Senate seat.

Senator Lew Fidler...thats the ticket   :)
