I attended the Kick Off Rally for the Hon. Adolfo Carrion Jr.'s launch of his Independent campaign for Mayor of New York City tonight, at the Bronx Museum of the Arts.
CLICK HERE to view the rally on NY1.
In his first speech as a candidate he pledged to re-engage New Yorkers discouraged by partisan politics and special interests. Carrion dropped his Democratic Party enrollment in the fall to run with the Independence Party, which endorsed him last week. This sets up a possibility for a three-way general election in November.
The last time a mayoral candidate won office solely on a third party line was in 1969, when John Lindsey won reelection as a member of the Liberal Party.
As the candidate of the New York City Independence Party Organizations, he will be using our phone bank operation and our grassroots street operations to get out the vote, help with his Town Hall meetings, and be there on election day in November.
NYC Wins When Everyone Can Vote!
