"In the wake of the most serious economic decline since the Great Depression, many are re-thinking the traditional role of government," Ryan . "What services should government provide? How best to pay for those services? How should the service delivery system be structured? I want to be part of the process that considers and finds the best answers to these questions."

Ryan, a resident of White Plains for 22 years, has served for six years as Chair of the Westchester County Board of Legislators, a member of the State Assembly, president of the New York State Association of Counties and as a director of the National Association of Counties.
