Frank Morganthaler Announces Candidacy for District 17 Congressional Seat

Hawthorne resident Frank Morganthaler today officially announced his candidacy for the 17th District’s Congressional seat.

Morganthaler, currently a private investigator and retired New York City Fire Lieutenant, has joined the Congressional race as an independent candidate and a member of the We the People party.   “I chose this party name because we are about the people.  The people have been left out of the selection process for a long time and have had no voice in who their party chairs nominate as candidates.”

The newly formed 17th district is very important, as it affords its citizens a clear choice:  the conservative views of smaller government, lower taxes, and reduced spending OR the big spending, big brother policies of the current regime.

Morganthaler is running against Joe Carvin in the race to unseat Nita Lowey.  “We need a representative in Congress with true conservative views, who will help protect our Constitutional rights and freedoms.  I have received overwhelming support from voters and organizations in Westchester and Rockland and look forward to a successful campaign.”
