Welcome 
to the Phil Steck website.
This site is a light-hearted look at Phil Steck, mainly related to his political activities. He apparently does not like this website, but you can judge that for yourself by reading his letters on my blog post about this: Phil Steck letters.
On that funny side, you have to wonder about the local news media publishing this picture of Phil (below):
Mr. Steck won the Democratic primary for New York State Assembly on September 13, 2012. We congratulate him on his victory. At this writing he will have a tough race in the general election against Jennifer Whalen. She will be on the Republican and Independence party lines.
If you are looking for him as an attorney, Mr. Steck works at Cooper Erving & Savage LLP.
In the 2008 primary for Congress he came in third or so in a Democratic primary, behind Paul Tonko (who went on to win the seat) and Tracey Brooks.
The seat was held by Mike McNulty for 20 years, and by Sam Stratton for a long time before that.
See Issues, About Phillip Steck, and News.
As an Albany County legislator, Steck was known for his opposition to the rights of lawful gun owners.
This site was his campaign website for the congressional race.
There was quite a hubbub when Brooks’ campaign registered some domain names that included Phil Steck’s name in them, though she never seemed to use them.
In a wonderful piece of irony (if that’s the right term), both of them allowed their domain names to expire.
The domain names were acquired at an auction by another former candidate for Congress in Albany.
That would be me: Albany Lawyer Warren Redlich.
You are doing a good job on Television. I do not want you to forget to take at least one half page ads (2) in the Spotlight, immediately. Ms. Whalen refuses to buy more average time! It is the average citizen who will control this vote! A full page in the Spotlight is 600 to 900 dollars! Also half page the Metroland for next week, and half page the Hearst Penny Saver. These ad magazines/papers are sent to every home, thus they really are free at 600 dollars!
I recently saw an ad regarding your opponent. It stated that she agreed with allowing concealed carry laws for private citizens, which I can only infer to mean that you do not support this law. I would like to know what possible reason could you have for not wanting to allow a person that has gone through the process of obtaining a CCW permit, and has passes several federal and local background checks to be allowed to carry concealed to protect themselves or their loved one should a criminal wish to due them harm? To my knowledge it is very unlikely that a person who has obtained their CCW permit would commit a crime or a random act of violence.
As a result of your insistent campaign calls every single day and sometimes twice a day, the visits to my house, and your campaign commercials, I will not be voting for you. I do not support your positions and I do not like being saturated in an attempt to get my vote.
i met ou once and said i would vote for you if you were honest.
in the last 6 weeks or 2 months i have gotten 16 pcs. of liteture from you and 3 phone calls.
you are trying to brain-washed the people with that much liteture. if when we get to the poles we forget who your opponet is, the first thing that comes to mind is phil steck. that is a form of brainwashing. you should be ashamed (which you arn’t). of course this e-mail will probably never reach you. you can take it to the bank, i will not vote for you(even if you were the only one running. i think the people will regret it if you get in. you are a lawyer and should not be in there anyways. you lawyer are the ones that got this country in the mess it is in.
Sorry but the bombarding phone calls turned me away. To be honest, it was a toss-up but the automated calls are out of control.
Dearest Phil -
Robocalls are spam. I will *not* vote for you because of the one I just received.
Signed,
Independent Voter
