WPCNR BACK ROOM BULLETIN. By John F. Bailey. April 21, 2009: The White Plains Democratic City Committee, as has been reported previously by WPCNR, nominated New York State Assemblyman Adam Bradley to run for Mayor of White Plains in the fall, and agreed with the Party Nominating Committee choices of  David Buchwald, a tax attorney, Beth Smayda, a financial marketing executive and analyst for MBIA, the insurance company, and Tom Roach, local lawyer and incumbent councilperson to run for a third four-year term.

Bradley as yet has no opposition for Mayor, and neither do the three candidates nominated for Common Council. To date no Republican standard-bearer has stepped forward saying "I'm running for Mayor," or for Council.

Don Hughes said he was going to floor-challenge for a council slot at the Democrat City Committee Convention last night, but his candidacy was rejected.
