YONKERS, NY -- After months of speculation, former New York State Senator Nick Spano today announced he will not run for the 35th State Senate District, a seat he held for 20 years from 1986-2006.
“I consider myself fortunate to have been given the privilege of serving the people of Westchester County for 28 years, Spano said. I started my career in the State Assembly as a 25-year-old novice and left as a senior member of the Senate Majority. It is something that very few people will ever experience, and I am profoundly grateful for the thousands of individuals throughout Westchester who remain loyal and supportive of me.”

WASHINGTON, DC -- Ralph Nader announced on NBC's Meet the Press that he is entering the U.S. presidential race resuscitating the fear of some Democrats that his candidacy would deprive much needed votes from their party.
