SAM Party Endorses 27 For Office in Rockland

ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY — SAM Party of New York Chairman Michael Volpe announced the nominations of 27 candidates for office in Rockland County.

The SAM Party of New York was founded to support candidates who are involved in their local communities and getting things done. Party officials said these Rockland candidates are part of a wave of people who are looking for a way to break through partisan politics and end the stranglehold of the two-party system. SAM's principles are: good government, transparency, and engaging residents to build solutions that work.

“The candidates endorsed by the SAM Party of New York have a record of accomplishment in their communities and believe in the principle of working with others regardless of political affiliation in order to get results for their communities,” Volpe said in the announcement. “Some are long-time officeholders, some are incumbents seeking re-election, and some are first time candidates. All are well qualified for the offices they seek. We are proud to endorse these candidates and encourage residents to vote for them on the SAM Party line on November 5th.”

The offices SAM Party candidates seek to represent in Rockland County include positions in county, town and village government.
