If there is one political office where change can be affected and the voters truly have a choice, it is in the race for the council person of the 3rd district.
Facing long odds and continued backstabbing by her own party, Joan Gronowski has managed what in Yonkers is the near impossible.
She has so far beaten the “Democrat Party Clubhouse” to win the BLANK endorsement to be on the ballot line of the Democrat Party in November.
She will will face her “old friend” Sam Borelli who has three party lines and Dick Halevy, the Republican. Both of these men are as entrenched as the problems they seek to solve. In essence, more of the same.
Ms. Gronowski’s service to her community and experience comes over a lifetime in the City of Yonkers. She has been active and engaged in public service, government, politics, and community. She does what others talk about.
For that, and her integrity, and speaking truth to power, Ms. Gronowski has suffered at the hands of and even some of her own friends.
Why? Because she was willing to speak up and speak out.
Since politics in Yonkers has become so personal, she was fired, deprived of her pension and livelihood, and needed to fight back with a lawsuit.
After several years, she won. Even though a Pyrrhic victory – a victory, never the nevertheless. If anyone brings experience, integrity, and perseverance to her constituency, it’s Ms. Gronowski.
If anyone deserves to be elected, it’s Ms. Gronowski. If voters want to make a difference, they can. The choice is easy. In the third district, it’s Joan Gronowski.
