Democrats Kick Off the Fourth with a Brunch

The Bedford Democratic Committee will kick off the Fourth of July early with a brunch and fundraiser on June 27. The event will feature food, conversation, and music and will run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

"It is going to be festive, in a relaxed and informal setting," said Lydia Landesberg, vice chairman of the Bedford Democratic Committee. "We are calling it a Independence Day Brunch and giving it an Independence Day theme.

"John Hall will be there. He will talk and answer questions," Landesberg said. "We will have Mike Kaplowitz, who is running for the New York State Senate." Hall is the congressman for the 19th District, while Kaplowitz is currently in the Westchester County Legislature and is a candidate for New York State Senate. 

"This is an opportunity for people to come and meet the candidates and hear a bit about them," she added. "It is open to the public and anyone is welcome."

In addition to Hall and Kaplowitz, several local political figures and candidates for office will attend, including Tom Roach, who is running for New York Assembly District 89; County Legislator Peter Harckham, Town Councilman Chris Burdick, Town Councilman David Gabrielson, and others.

Tickets are $15, $25, $50, and $150. The brunch will be held at 277 Mt Holly Rd, Katonah, NY. For more information or to make reservations, go to the committee's website at http://www/bedforddemocrats.org/51001.html or 914-844-5688.
