On this week’s episode of Judgement Call, Peter Chatzky and John Sullivan sat down to discuss what they learned while running for Congress in NY-17.
Chatzky is a retired tech guru with deep ties to Briarcliff. Sullivan is a former FBI agent now living in Rockland County. They’re from different generations, opposite sides of the river, with divergent professions—but they had quite similar experiences on the campaign trail.
They talk about the realities of fundraising, the difficulties of party bosses, their decision to endorse Beth Davidson, and their concerns about the record of her closest opponent, Cait Conley.
It’s an incredibly candid account of what it’s really like to run in the district. You do not want to miss this one.

Editor’s note: If you think that local journalism matters in NY-17, consider upgrading to a paid subscription. It helps me dedicate more time to covering what I think is the most interesting race of the midterms.
