Stonewall Democrats of Western New York enthusiastically announce our support for Councilmember Dr. Curtis Haynes Jr. in the special election for the City of Buffalo Common Council’s Ellicott District.
Upon his appointment last January, when he mentioned the equality and diversity of all Buffalo residents in his first speech as councilmember, the LGBT community of Buffalo knew we had a friend in Curtis Haynes.
An economics professor at Buffalo State College, Dr. Haynes has demonstrated his great ability to successfully legislate and serve the Ellicott district’s unique and diverse needs. In his crucial support this year for the city’s new and historic domestic partnership registry and legislation, Dr. Haynes proved he has what it takes to stand up, fight for and get the results of representation and equality for all people.
Stonewall Democrats gladly stand with Councilmember Haynes for election to the Ellicot District’s Common Council.
Our July Monthly Meeting is this Tuesday, July 27 at 6:30 PM.

Our agenda will include interview of NYS Supreme Court candidates and discussion of the NYS Senate Races in the 58th and 59th Senate Districts, as well as the NYS Attorney General Election.
Still unconfirmed are candidate interviews for the City of Buffalo Common Council Ellicott District election.
Our agenda tentatively will be the following:
6:30-7:00PM: 10 minute candidate interviews with NYS Supreme Court Candidates Catherine Panepinto and Judges Betty Calvo-Torres and Eugene Fahey.
7PM: Vote on endorsement for NYS Supreme Court Candidates
7:10PM: Discussion of NYS Senate Districts 58 and 59.

*Should our candidates confirm attendance in the Ellicott District Council race, interviews with the two candidates who have filed petitions will commence at 7:30 and 7:40.
Because representatives from the NYS Attorney General and Senate District 59 campaigns are unable to attend our meeting due to distance, we will be considering endorsement for those races with their submitted questionnaires. The materials will be available at the meeting, but you may read them ahead of time here:
