This is the second independent candidate, Mayor Bloomberg was the first in his third campaign, to be endorsed by the party and guarantees the minimum of a three party mayoral race in November 2013 and the possibility of the city's first Latino mayor.
Mr. Carrion is the former City Council member, Bronx Borough President, Director of the Office of Urban Affairs in the Obama Administration, and Regional Director of HUD for New York and New Jersey.
Next, is filing a Wilson Pakula, the document that lets a non-party candidate run on a party line.
But then the fun begins.
Will he also get the ability to run in the Republican Primary?
We also will need to spend June through July to get the number of signatures needed to get on the ballot.
I first met Adolfo at the party's December 2012 Anti-Corruption Awards. After his speech, I heard someone with a fire in their belly and someone who understood independent politics.
As a member of the New York City Independence Party's Executive Committee representing the Eastside of Manhattan (73rd AD), I had a phone conversation with Adolfo on Sunday, February 10th about his run for mayor. On our conversation about Political Reform, he said, "I'm writing a piece on nonpartisan municipal elections. The parties are always running on "litmus test" issues, rather than focusing on how to fix things. We should be focused on public safety, education, and building the economy. As Fiorello LaGuardia said, there's no Republican or Democratic way to pick up the garbage. The political process needs fixing. My candidacy gives us the opportunity to advance that. This campaign can disprove the notion that independents can't succeed."
His KICKOFF RALLY, will be Tuesday, February 26th at The Bronx Museum of the Arts, 1040 Grand Concourse, Bronx NY. Doors will open at 5:30pm and Event begins at 6:00pm.
Please RSVP by February 24th at: CARRIONNYC2013@GMAIL.COM or call 646-722-4273.
