White Plains CitizeNetReporter - Sayegh, Tuckahoe grad, Debates Paulin at His Old Stomping Grounds

WPCNR SATURDAY REVIEW. From the Sayegh Media Center. (EDITED) October 12, 2002:Tony Sayegh, candidate for the New York State Assembly in the 88th District, conducted a lively debate with his opponent, Amy Paulin, at his old high school in Tuckahoe. The debate was effectively coordinated by the school administrators and offered a firsthand view of the political process in action. Sayegh and his opponent, Amy Paulin for the 88th Assembly District appears at the White Plains Public Library Tuesday at the League of Women Voters Candidates Forum beginning at 7:00 PM, 100 Martine Avenue, 2nd floor.

Sayegh began by stating that, “I am extremely proud to be back at my alma mater, speaking in front of so many of the dedicated and influential educators who kindled my desire to pursue public service.”

The students in attendance had spent the week preparing questions for both candidates and their efforts definitely paid off. The debate was filled with thoughtful and intelligent questions from start to finish.

“Having an alum like Tony come back to his old high school was very exciting to see. He is just such an energizing and dynamic person and he sets a great example for kids our age to get involved,” said Tuckahoe high school student Stephanie Martino.

Sayegh engaged each question with honesty and enthusiasm, particularly when noting his disappointment over the Democrats in the Assembly playing politics as usual by blocking common sense legislation regarding terrorism and child safety.

“I have known Tony since his days in our Tuckahoe schools and was very impressed watching him grow up in this community. I always knew that he would follow his heart and enter public service on behalf of the town he grew up in and am proud to say that, I will be voting for him in November,” remarked Judith Almonte.

Sayegh closed by saying, “Whatever you take from this debate today, I hope that you ultimately recognize the very important role you will have to play in your community.”
