Working Families Party cites election stats
-
- November
- 21
The Working Families Party distributed a memo this morning from Executive Director Dan Cantor and Deputy Director Bill Lipton wrapping up the party’s performance in this month’s election.
Three of the facts they cited:
• “There are lots of votes still to be counted, but it’s already clear that we’ll easily surpass the 133,000 WFP/Row E votes we got for John Kerry in 2004. Current estimates put us north of 150,000, and maybe as high as 170,000.”
• 34 Congressional candidates ran with both Democrat and Working Families lines in New York and Connecticut; 31 won, including 26 in New York.
• D-WF candidates Brian Foley and Joe Addabbo defeated Republican incumbents, helping shift the balance of power in the New York state senate from Republican to Democrat.
