Candidates File Petitions:

Tocci to Run on Multiple Lines, Bramson to Run on Democratic Line

( July 31, 2002) Assemblyman Ron Tocci and New Rochelle Councilman Noam Bramson have both filed designating petitions to run on the Democratic line for the 91st District State Assembly seat in the November general elections. Only the winner of the September 10 Democratic Primary will actually appear on the Democratic line in November.

Tocci also filed petitions to run on the Republican, Conservative, Independence, and Working Families Party lines.

According to the Tocci campaign, the Assemblyman received over 1,100 signatures from registered Democrats and 1,100 signatures from registered Republicans across the 91st Assembly District. Noam Bramson collected around 1,380. State laws require only 500 signatures.

Both campaigns were pleased with the signatures they collected. Tocci said. “Such overwhelming numbers confirm my belief that people, regardless of party affiliation, know me and trust my record of service to them.” He added, “I’m grateful to all of the many dedicated volunteers who sacrificed their time and braved the heat and humidity to get me on the ballot. My supporters are very excited to return me to Albany, where I will continue to serve in the Assembly Democratic Majority.”

“The Bramson campaign is pleased that we obtained close to 1,400 signatures from all over the 91st Assembly District,” reported the Campaign Manager, Alisa Kesten . “It was particularly gratifying to see we had almost 80 different people collecting signatures. These included district leaders from all over the district as well as individual supporters who are looking to Noam to bring his ideals and energy to work for us in Albany.”
