Phil Steck receives the Independence Party endorsement
June 4, 2008
Congressional candidate and Albany County legislator Phil Steck has received the Independence Party endorsement in the race for the 21st Congressional seat.
Last Saturday, the state committee held a meeting and voted to support Steck, according to the Steck campaign spokesman Tom Nardacci.
Steck has a history with the Albany County Independence Party and its chairman Paul Caputo. The Independence Party’s support of the Democrats helped them to win the majority in the town of Colonie.
“Phil has a history of building coalitions to create change and this endorsement reflects that,” said Nardacci.
Steck also received the endorsement of Hudson Mohawk chapter of Democracy for America, which played an active role in organizing for the successful campaign of Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand in 2006.
