William Carney (politician)

  • ... that William Carney is the only registered member of the Conservative Party of New York State to be elected to the United States House of Representatives? "William Carney dead; politician who backed Shoreham plant was 74". May 23, 2017. Archived from the original on May 25, 2020.

  • QPQ done, no image, 5x expanded on May 31, interesting hook, NPOV article, length-compliant, and no obvious copyvio. My only question is whether he was the "only" or "first"? The source says he was the "first" and not "only"; also it's not inline cited in the article. Chetsford (talk) 21:26, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
  • @Chetsford: Sorry, dumb mistake by me. I meant to use another reference which states that "the House’s first and sole Conservative member". Just changed the reference. - Jon698 (talk) 22:57, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
