Progressive Democrat Issue 89: BROOKLYN AND STATEN ISLAND ACTION

The one Congressional race in NYC where we have a chance to defeat a Republican is the NY-13 race covering Staten Island and a part of Brooklyn. Corruption is slowly chipping away at the Republican incumbent, Vito Fossella's already low popularity. The Daily News ran a whole series on Fossella's corruption. The Democratic candidate, Steve Harrison, got a late start but is slowly catching up. A fundraiser this last week netted some $10,000, a much needed boost and one that should help attract the help of unions. And an internal poll indicated the race may well be a dead heat.

What is most needed is volunteers. Please give Steve some of your time. I have met him and found him an excellent candidate who is attracting some big gun support, including Chuck Schumer, the Sierra Club, SEIU 1199, and many others. Please contact Steve Harrison's campaign and let them know you want to help and what you can do.
