What makes Pat Hahn qualified to be a Candidate for New York State Governor.

 

I'm not a politician. I'm a proud son of a World War ll Navy Veteran. "The Greatest Generation" I wear this hat in memory of my dad, whom I dedicated my campaign to. I am a Retired NYS Heathcare worker. I'm also a family man with a son who is a Nurse. My wife works with the physically challenged. What are my true qualifications and experiences to run for Governor. I was a candidate for United States Senate in 2018 and 2022. I traveled across NYS meeting thousands of people. I wanted explain in more detail my labor union experience and how it relates to me being better qualified to run for Governor. A lot of people don’t realize my past position as a Board of Director to (CSEA). The official name is called “Civil Service Employees Association” and we are Incorporated. We are the largest public sector Union in New York State. Serving over a million members. Representing State, County, Town, Village, School and Municipalities. My position was elected to serve on the Board of Directors for the Corporation. I was elected three terms serving 9 years, then decided not to run after that. As a director I was involved with being in charge of the internal workings of the corporation as a business. With a multi-million-dollar budget. Dealing with staff issues along with overseeing different departmental functions and policy making. We approved the hiring and firing of the internal staff including salary structure. We also had a separate internal Union that represented the staff that worked for CSEA. So, were also involved with internal contract negotiations and approval of their in-house contracts. We were in charge of balancing a budget without raising Union dues. I was also part of the corporation change from an outside law firm representing CSEA. To the creation of our inhouse law department that actually saved the corporation a lot of money. We stopped outsourcing legal work that was a contracted with an outside law firm. I also served as an elected delegate that worked with by-laws of the corporation and the internal structure of how the corporation functions.

 

As a President of local 418, I represented three thousand members with four vice presidents’, secretary, treasure and 12 board of directors. We were the largest State local in New York State. We also had a budget to work with as well. We did on hands representation for union members on their worksite. I was also the chairman of our labor management agreements, working through bipartisan management and labor.

My other life skill is being a President for 15 years of my community civic association. Dealing with different town issues and problems that affect our environment, quality of life along with public safety. Also being active with my Chamber of Commerce for about 20 years in my town that supports our local business.

My life skills as a Scoutmaster in scouting for 25 years. I helped mentor young scouts to achieve the requirements to become Eagle Scouts. By helping those young scouts to become future leaders themselves. I know our environment and nature better than anyone else. That’s because I also spent time in the woods camping, hiking and fishing on Long Island all my life.

Putting all these qualities together makes me the best candidate for Governor along with my people skills. I’m able to work with many different groups to get things done.
