Dear Senator Skelos,

Attached, you will find a copy of an independent poll that was commissioned by the Chairmen of
the Republican Parties in Westchester, Putnam and Duchess Counties. The poll was
independently conducted, surveying likely Republican Primary voters in the 40th Senate District.

As you know, Senator Leibell has decided to seek the nomination of our party to be Putnam
County’s next County Executive. Senator Leibell served the 40th Senate District with a high
degree of commitment for 16 years and I greatly respect his service to our district and our state.

Retaining the 40th District Seat for our party is vital to our party's ability to regain the majority in
the New York State Senate.

I’m very pleased to inform you that the polling data strongly favors my candidacy for the 40th
District Senate seat. I will be your nominee on September 15th, and in the next 4 months we
should be working in concert. The independent polling data demonstrates that registered
Republican voters will select my candidacy over my other two opponents by a spread of over 40
points.

Lastly, the poll indicates that in a three-way primary that 56% of the registered Republican voters
would select me as their nominee, which is a margin of 40 points in relation to my nearest
opponent.

There is a fundamental question that must be answered: Are we going to work together to secure
this seat and regain the majority, or are we going to engage in a multi-million dollar interparty
war and deplete resources that should be spent regaining the majority?

With the compelling results of this poll in hand, the Senate Republican Campaign Committee is
presented with a strategic opportunity to redeploy hundreds of thousands of precious dollars and
resources into other critical races outside of the 40th District to assist candidates that may need
additional financial support and helps enable our state party to regain the majority in the New
York State Senate.

The polling data reflects four years of hard work by my many supporters, as well as back-to-back
landslide victories in Republican Primaries, 2006 and 2008, of 72% and 75% respectively. Both
primaries were divisive, and cost the party over a million dollars in resources. I won those
elections with zero party support and against all odds, and I am prepared to do so again, if forced,
in 2010.

These polls, commissioned by the three County Chairmen to gain a scientific and objective
perspective of the Senate District, demonstrate that the groundwork has been laid for a similar
landslide victory as a result of my continued efforts to offer proposals and solutions to the voters
that will help us to turn round our state. These resources, yours and mine (we now have raised
nearly $500,000), should be spent collectively to regain your majority in the State Senate.

If we work together by supporting each other and by strategically deploying our resources and
organizations, we will win the 40th District and leverage the incredible momentum in this
important district to enable us to regain our majority in the Senate.

Sincerely,

Greg Ball
