Kudos to Westchester County GOP Chairman Doug Colety and Yonkers GOP Chairman John Jacono for their support of Jim Faulkner to challenge Assemblyman Mike Spano. As a longtime Republican, I was quite dismayed when Mike Spano changed his party registration from Republican to Democrat.
As a registered voter, I want to know what candidates think about issues. Has Mike Spano switched political parties to win an election? Have his principles changed because he changed from one party to another? What did he stand for before and what does he stand for now? Democrats have done too much flip-flopping with their viewpoints.
His opponent, Jim Faulkner, on the other hand, through his leadership of the Yonkers Third Ward Republicans, has not wavered in his dedication to his party's ideals. In the forthcoming campaign we anticipate that we will learn the "true" viewpoints of the two candidates.
While I don't live in Faulkner's district, I applaud his dedication to Republican views, which I support.
