2008 S.V.A. Supporters N.Y.S. Senator Eric T. Schneiderman
Eric T.Schneiderman has been a consistent supporter of the STONEWALL Veterans' Association since he was first a candidate for the New York State Senate in 1998. Eric S. and his two opponents Danny O'Donnell and Jerry Goldfeder all participated in the SVA-co-sponsored PRIDE Democrats Candidates' Forum on August 27, 1998. Eric was favored by PRIDE Dems. He really went over very well with the diverse full house. It seemed almost immediately after that as good word got out that Eric took the unstopable lead in that race. The PRIDE forum, by the way, was held at the pre-renovated Gay Community Services Center and hosted by S.V.A. President Williamson Henderson. Sectional moderators chosen by Williamson included Liz Abzug (PRIDE), Kevin MacGruder (GMAD), Duchess Rayette (IQKNY), Noah Pfefferblit (MBP) and Jenni Egan (IQKNY). By the way, Eric won! |
