Marine Corps Veteran To Challenge Hall
Peekskill, NY/November 25, 2007 – Iraq Veteran and national
security
activist Kieran Michael Lalor is planning to announce his bid to
represent
New York’s 19th District in Congress tomorrow, Sunday, November
25,
2007.
Lalor will make the announcement at 2:30 PM at the American
Legion Post
274. The post is located at 936 McKinley Street in Peekskill.
“Washington has become a confused mess,” said Lalor. “People are
clamoring for a change. I’m offering new blood and a new
direction.”
Lalor described himself as a steadfast Reagan Republican.
Born and raised in the Hudson Valley, Lalor’s life has been one
dedicated
to serving his community and country. Upon graduating from
Providence
College, he worked as a social studies teacher at Our Lady of
Lourdes
High
School in Poughkeepsie. Lalor enlisted in the Marine Corps,
serving
six
years and fulfilling a lifelong dream of following his father,
brother,
and uncle into the Marine Corp.
Lalor’s Reserve unit was deployed to Iraq in March 2003. His
unit
conducted security and humanitarian operations in southern Iraq.
Upon
his
return home, Lalor founded the Eternal Vigilance Society to
advocate
for a
proactive national defense and support the troops serving
overseas.
Kieran was also awarded a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement
Medal for
performing search and rescue mission in New Orleans in the
aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina.
Kieran is a graduate of Pace University Law School. He lives in
Peekskill
with his wife Mary Jo and their two daughters.
“With the help of my family, friends, and supporters, I’m ready
for
this
new challenge. I want to restore the people’s confidence in
Congress,”
said Lalor. He continued, “John Hall doesn’t represent the
values of
the
voters in this district. It’s time we send him home.”
