Poll question: Have you run for an office? |
|
What office did you run for, and what was it like? Did you win or lose?

5. lost my bid for town council in 2001 |
|
It was very challenging. I won a "primary" for the Green Party line, but the primary was canceled due to 9-11-01. I ended up with the Working Families Party Line and the Democratic Party line. I lost huge by about 1000 votes. Very red town.

10. Seriously thought about it. |
|
Got approached about running for a judgeship. I never thought the people who asked me to do it would put up the kind of money they were suggesting; I wasn't going to put up that kind of money for a job that pay less than what I make in my practice, and I wasn't going to file just to have a Democrat on the ballot.
