About The Westchester County Independence Party: Three years ago, Journal News columnist Phil Reisman called The Chair  Dr. Guilo Cavallo “the most powerful man in Westchester County politics.” He has appeared on the People Before Politics Radio Show several times.

Dr. Cavallo is the son of Italian immigrants—his father came to America in the 1950s and worked as a truck mechanic—and grew up in the Bronx.

Inspired by Ross Perot’s Reform Party, Dr. Cavallo became involved with the Independence Party in New York State and eventually organized the first Westchester County Independence Party committee.

Today, in addition to chairing the Westchester County Independence Party, he serves on the Independence Party State Executive Committee and recently helped start a national branch.

Dr. Cavallo And Yonkers Vice-chair Dhyalma Vazquez are known for helping candidates win elections.

You wouldn’t think a third party would have much success winning elections, and if you lived outside of New York, you’d probably be right.

But New York is one of a handful of states that allows cross-endorsement. The Conservative Party, the Working Families Party, and the Independence Party rarely run their own candidates.

Instead, they list a candidate from a major party on their own ballot line.

The Democrats and Republicans have the first two rows on the ballot. In local elections, the Conservative Party usually endorses the Republican candidate, and Working Families usually endorses the Democrat.

The Independence Party is the wild card, supporting Democrats and Republicans just about equally after extensive candidate interviews.
