While Halloween falls right during the final stretch  of the election season,  even rivals found some common ground on the scariest of nights...
 
Candidates for Broome County Executive - Democratic Challenger Tarik Abdelazim and Republican incumbent Debbie Preston - both told us earlier, that they had big plans this evening.


"We've been stitching together my son's little costume. he just turned one last Friday and he's going as a little wizard because I want him to use his magic for victory on November 6th," said Abdelazim.

"I have  little bo peep, I have dracula, I have a lot of different costumes so it is one of my favorite times of the year that I do get dressed up.

"But am I going to tell you what I'm going to be dressed up as? No. Because you'll be stalking me and then it will make a difference in how much candy I'll get if you're stalking me," said Debbie Preston.
 
No word yet on which costume was selected.
Our investigative unit is working on that.
