Following the release of a video filmed by John Birkner while on the campaign property of the Schepisi and Auth Campaign, the Assembly members issued the following statement:

“John Birkner improperly placed signs on our Campaign Headquarters’ private property. He then trespassed and verbally assaulted several of our campaign volunteers, including two who were minors. Unlike our opponents we understand the law, and the difference between public and private property. John Birkner has a well-documented history of verbally assaulting others in the community, including the former Police Chief’s wife in Westwood.”
