[Peter] Koo, who owns five Star Side Pharmacies in the Flushing area, and previously worked as a pharmacist in the former Booth Memorial Hospital, accused Stavisky of landing her seat through "inheritance." Stavisky was first elected to the Senate in November 1999 to serve out the term of her late husband, Leonard, who died while in office.
Stavisky has since won reelection in 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2006. Reubens conceded she has not faced a serious candidate since a Democratic primary in 2002 against former City Councilwoman Julia Harrison.
In the 2006 election, Stavisky got 36,134 votes, according to election results. Nine write-in candidates also got votes, including Felix the Cat and Joe Torre.
Koo said democracy demands that Stavisky be challenged.
"It's time to give voters a choice," he said.

Go for it, Peter!
No incumbent should ever "campaign" without a serious opponent.
I hope you run, and I hope you win.
When you run again as an incumbent, I sincerely hope you also have a serious opponent, for no other reason then that competition improves the contenders.
Sorry Peter, but this is Queens: democracy and choice are not welcome. I bet the farm you will see the same insidious tactics in this election as the district 30 election. These are the trademarks of Parkside. Even will work even harder to protect his mama than he did for Elizabeth Crowley.
ATTENTION Peter Koo, ATTENTION! Send a stooge, with a video recorder, to Stavisky's office and try to gain entry. In 20 years, no one I know has ever been alllowed in the Stavisky's (Leonard or Toby) office. Something's wrong with that.
Is this the same "Koo"
connected to a local prostitution
(or whatever) scandal?
(Maybe I'm wrong....
please enlighten me).
A former Stavisky staffer once told me that each night all papers were locked up tight in a safe in their district office before they left.
Also, each time you spoke to Leonard, Toby was on the extension phone and vice versa!
H-m-m-m....
what have they got to hide.

You posted this same comment the last time I put up a post about Koo. You know damn well his name was Peter KO, not Koo. You were told so last time. So knock it off.
Sorry, "Ko" not "Koo".
I was on vacation and missed that one "Crapper".
Best wishes to Peter Koo on a successful campaign & victory in November 2008!
You must all attend the Lester Wolffe Campaign School in order to achieve full comprehension of how things happen here in the homeland of the Vlusingaquot Indians and their wild parakeets.
