===[[SANFORD COHEN]]===
===[[Sanford Cohen|SANFORD COHEN]]===


[[Sanford Cohen]] has been running for Congress in N.Y. State's 25th District ever since last January.  To date, he has raised and spent several thousand dollars, and has achieved a great deal of publicity, partly as a result of a nude campaign poster he issued last year; he has been written up in many newspapers, interviewed on radio and TV, and was covered by PLAYBOY magazine.  One of Sandy's main campaign planks is his advocacy of a "pay what you want" tax plan; he has also signed a contract binding him to keep his campaign promises, and has challenged his opponents to do the same.  He describes his campaign as "going unbelievably well."  Sandy is a member of the LP National ExecComm; his main opponent, GOP incumbent Hamilton Fish, has the dubious distinction of having the lowest [[Royce Report]] score of any Republican in Congress.  Contributions should be sent to Citizens for Cohen, Box 1776, Poughkeepsie, NY 12601.
