Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA)-endorsed Representative-elect John Hall shakes hands with CSEA President Danny Donohue. Hall, a well-known activist and former leader of the musical group Orleans, was an upset winner in the 19th Congressional District in a race that garnered national attention. Months of hard work by CSEA activists produced Election Day success for most CSEA-supported candidates across the state. All of the union's statewide candidates, including Governor-elect Eliot Spitzer and United States Senator Hillary Clinton, scored impressive victories.
