Biography | Recently, life-long Lackawanna resident Hank Pirowski Jr. announced to the Front Page that he will be a candidate in the upcoming Democratic Primary for the office of Council President. Pirowski stated, “Our uniquely diverse community has prepared me for life’s challenges in ways that I do not believe possible in other cities. As a young man growing up in our small city, I grew up appreciating the... opportunity of having your voice heard. Here unlike in other communities, every person and vote counts. This has drawn me into politics with the ability to make a difference in the community that I love.”
Hank is the son of Hank Sr. and Gloria Pirowski. Pirowski is a 2000 graduate of Lackawanna High School where he excelled in his studies and extra-curricular activities including helping lead the Lackawanna Steelers football team to several New York State Championship appearances. He is also currently attending Buffalo State College where he will graduate in spring 2012 with a dual major in Political Science and History.
Hank continued, “I am a life-long resident of Lackawanna. I enjoyed my upbringing here and am extremely proud to be from this community. You do not have to be a rich city to be a great city and what we may lack in wealth we more than make up for in cultural affluence. We are a true American melting pot of numerous ethnicities and religions. Having grown up on both sides of the bridge I believe I am a unique candidate in this race with the ability to move past the old grudges and bring us together. I have a very strong work ethic that my family instilled in me and am extremely anxious to meet as many citizens as possible in the upcoming months. I want you to get to know me and I want to get to know you, so I will be working hard going door to door, on a listening tour to hear all of your concerns. Please don’t hesitate to stop me anytime as I am always available to the public.”
“I don’t have all the answers, no one does, but I will do my absolute best to address all of your concerns and get back to you on how I plan to solve your problems. It doesn’t matter if you support me or not, your issues A-Z are MY issues. I know many of our citizens have become disenfranchised with the politics in our city and do not believe their vote makes a difference. I want to challenge all citizens of Lackawanna; I want to challenge you to believe that another Lackawanna is possible. But it is only possible with your active participation. I will never stop working to improve our city, elected or not. We must expect and demand more for our city. I certainly do and with your help we will make a difference together”, concluded Pirowski.
