WPCNR CAMPAIGN 2007. August 16, 2007: Robert Levine filed petitions nominating himself, and White Plains favorite son, Robert Stackpole, whose ancestry dates back to The Revolutionary War,  for Common Counsel today at the Board of Elections. Levine said some two dozen workers helped the duo acquire petitions from registered voters in White Plains over the last five weeks. He said the duo was waiting for the Board of Elections to approve their petitions and place them on the November 6 ballot to run against the nominees of the Democratic and Republican Parties.

Levine filed 66 pages of signatures, containing “in excess” of 1,200 names. Levine said the political opposition had three days to challenge his and Stackpole’s petitions, then he said  he expected that the duo might be placed on the ballot in a week. He said he would have not comments on the political scene until he and Mr. Stackpole were placed on the November ballot, and that now they were acceptance of their petitions by the Board of Elections.

Mr. Levine delivers his signatures to Reginald LaFayette, Commissioner of the Board of Elections.

In a statement Mr. Levine said, “We’re really grateful for all the help and encouragement we’ve gotten from all of the citizens, and look forward to engaging them in the campaign in the future.”
