WPCNR THE WHITE PLAINS STREET. September 9, 2003: Registered Republicans and Democrats are urged to vote in their respective primaries throughout the city today at their regular polling places. On the Republican side in White Plains, challenger Dan Hickey will be challenging Jeffrey Binder, Tim Sheehan, and Rosa Munoz. On the Democratic side, the Kathy Davidson-Susan Pollet Family Court Judgeship nomination will be a test of Democrat establishment influence in that Pollet's maverick candidacy has been strongly criticised as being disloyal to the Democratic Party.  Results can be obtained on the Westchester County website late this evening.

WHAT DOES A CANDIDATE DO ON PRIMARY DAY? Tim Sheehan, Republican Candidate for Common Council, drove to 20 North Broadway Tuesday afternoon, (where he used to live) to give Republican voters Ann McGovern, right, Florence Giannone (in red sweater) and Louise Tartaglia a lift to their polling place at Eastview School. Voters of both parties have until 9 P.M. this evening to cast their ballots.  Photo by WPCNR News

AFTER VOTING, THE JOB IS GETTING THOSE REPUBLICANS OUT! Carrying lists of registered Republicans in the Club Pointe neighborhood, Tim Sheehan urges Carlos Munoz (no relation to the Republican candidate), to take time out to vote in the Primary. Binder, at left, said usually he and Binder would not walk together. If no one is home on their "Sidewalk Campaign," they leave a brochure and write a note on it urging them to vote in the primary.
