MOUNT VERNON, NY — New York State Senator Jeffrey D. Klein endorsed Richard Thomas for Mt. Vernon City Council on Tuesday, September 6, 2011. Sen. Klein said:
“I endorse Richard Thomas for Mt. Vernon City Council. Richard is ready to take a stand. Richard is ready to give back. Richard is ready to Lead. He is someone who I’ve had the privilege of working with when he was the Regional Director under Governor Paterson. He is a problem solver and has a ‘no nonsense’ approach to government. Most importantly, he is a product of Mt. Vernon having been born, raised and attended public schools. He is a small business man and understands how to create jobs. He will be a strong voice for our youth and will not forget who is and where he came from. Vote for Results. Vote 8A on Primary Day!”
Mr Thomas is the Democratic nominee and former Regional Director for the Governor’s Office in the Lower Hudson Valley during the Paterson Administration. More information of Richard Thomas may be found at http://www.thomas4council.com
