Up until 11 a.m. on Wednesday it looked as if the White Plains mayoral race might feature a single candidate— Adam Bradley—endorsed by the White Plains Democratic Party (Bradley is a registered Democrat), the Republican Party, the Independence Party, the Working Families Party, and the Conservative Party. However, on the steps of City Hall Wednesday morning, Councilman Glen Hockley threw his hat into the ring with a formal statement of his intention to run for mayor of the city of White Plains as an independent. Earlier that morning Hockley had filed with the Board of Elections. Surrounded by leaders and members of the labor unions representing city workers—painters, plumbers and steam-fitters, fire fighters and police, and the CSEA—Hockley told those gathered that the incumbent mayor, Joseph Delfino (a registered Republican), had given him permission to say he had his backing “100 percent.” Mayor Delfino was not present for Hockley’s announcement.
