President Clinton supports John Hall

(Cortland Manor) - President Bill Clinton came to the 19th Congressional District to stump for Democratic candidate John Hall. Eight days before the election, the former President urged a huge turnout for Hall. Clinton’s appearance will further boost the surging Hall campaign, which enters the last week with great momentum.

Hall welcomed President Clinton and told him that, as part of a new Democratic majority in Congress next year, he looks forward to bringing back, the prosperity, positive global standing and the environmental protection of the Clinton administration.
Introducing Mr. Clinton to the hundreds of supporters who crowded the Colonial Terrace ballroom in Cortlandt Manor, Hall said that the former president is “Still the One,” a reference to Hall’s hit recording in the 1970’s with the band, Orleans.

Also speaking at the rally were Rep. Nita Lowey, Rep. Eliot Engel, Rep. Maurice Hinchey and many other state and local officials, as well as union officials and community leaders.

“President Clinton’s appearance today, gives us a huge lift,” said Tom Staudter, Hall’s press secretary. “Tomorrow, Eliot Spitzer is coming to Fishkill to campaign with John. Our get-out-the-vote operations are talking to thousands of people on the phone and door-to-door each day. The voters are hungry for a change, and we believe they’ll make that known loudly and clearly on Election Day.”
