Democrats Crowd Women's Spring Luncheon For Attorney General Eric Schneiderman

Attorney General Eric Schneiderman brought a bursting to the seams crowd of over 150 people to the Annual Women's Spring Luncheon at the Fort William Henry Hotel in Lake George Friday, May 17th.  AG Schneiderman spoke about his rise through the State Senate, his tenure as New York State's highest elected official and the cause of bringing justice and progressive politics to state government.

Also speaking was Leecia Eve,  NYS Deputy Secretary for Economic Development, Mark Streb, of the State Department of State, presenting Governor Cuomo, and Dave Connors, Regional Representative for Senator Gillibrand, who read a message from the Senator.  Warren County Chair Lynne Boecher also read a statement of congratulations from Rep. Bill Owens.  

A large number of elected Democratic officials attended led by State Senator Neil Breslin, Warren County Judge John Hall, Glens Falls Mayor Jack Diamond, Saratoga Springs Supervisor and Mayoral Candidate Joanne Yepsen, Glens Falls Councilman-At-Large Dan Hall, Queensbury Town Councilman and Supervisor candidate John Strough,  Moreau Town Supervisor Preston Jenkins, Glens Falls Councilman Ben Driscoll, and Warren County Supervisors Bill Kenney, Bill Loeb, Peter McDevitt, Dan Girard, Bill Mason, David Strainer and Ron Vanselow.

The luncheon represented the premiere of the new North Country Democratic Women's Political Action Committee.
