BRONSON WINS; THANKS HIS SUPPORTERS


















Rochester Democrat Harry Bronson has won the 131 District seat that was vacated by the retiring Susan John, D-Rochester, who served our community for 20 years.  Susan John is a huge friend to working families, chairing the Assembly Labor Committee and serves on the Judiciary, Education, Energy, and Libraries and Education Technology Commitees as well. CSEA wishes her the best in her future endeavors.  (Photos by Ove Overmyer)

Rochester, N.Y.-- Democrat and labor advocate Harry Bronson beat political newcomer Ken Kraus in a tough battle for the New York State Assembly seat that includes portions of the City of Rochester, and the towns of Riga, Rush, Wheatland and Chili.

"I'm just very pleased that the voters of the 131st were receptive to my message," said Bronson, a lawyer and small business owner who also ran on the Working Families Party line.

Bronson was elected to the Monroe County Legislature in 2005 and has served as its Minority Leader since 2007. He was strongly supported by CSEA.

In an email sent to supporters, Bronson thanked the community for the win.


"I cannot thank you enough for all you've done to support my candidacy over the past nine months. It has been a long and hard campaign, but because of you, I now have the honor and privilege to represent the citizens of the 131st Assembly District.

Whatever your part --perhaps carrying petitions, walking door to door, making phone calls, making a donation or a kind word of encouragement, this victory is because of you.

These are difficult, challenging times. I see, however, the possibilities and want, with your help to be part of the solution to the myriad of issues we face. I am eager to roll up my sleeves and fight for you, the hard working families of New York.

Thank you for this opportunity."

Sincerely,

Harry Bronson
