Segarra and Sullivan are running mates, picked by the Peekskill Republican Committee to run on its "Peekskill United" slate, which also includes incumbent Councilman Joe Torres, who is seeking re-election, Mayor Frank A. Catalina and county Legislator John Testa.
“The Democratic residents of Peekskill have chosen to have true Democrats on the ballot November 7th,”said Colin Smith. "Segarra and Sullivan spent months claiming to be Democrats, and I guess they now claim to be Republicans. No one is sure what they stand for. If you want candidates that are true to their values, then the Democratic team is the only choice."
