Yitzchok Fleisher of Bobov was pushing this commie anti-Semite, G-d only knows why, and now he is upset. Rumor has it that he is looking for another German to endorse.
Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday that he is ending his campaign for a U.S. House seat in New York, dropping out after two months by saying it’s clear “people are looking for another option.”
The Democrat was running in a crowded primary for a deep-blue congressional district that includes his Brooklyn home and parts of southern Manhattan.
“I’ve listened really carefully to people and it’s clear to me that when it comes to this congressional district, people are looking for another option. And I respect that,” de Blasio said in a video posted online Tuesday.
His campaign was launched months after his tenure as mayor ended and was the latest attempt by de Blasio to further his national political ambitions.
He considered running for governor of New York but opted not to challenge incumbent Democrat Kathy Hochul. He also had a short-lived run for president in 2019, which lasted two months longer than this year’s congressional campaign.
De Blasio became the city’s first Democratic mayor in two decades when he won election in 2013. His early achievements included expanding public prekindergarten to every 4-year-old in the city and later including more 3-year-olds. He also curtailed the police stop-and-frisk tactic and helped push through a $15 an hour minimum wage.
But by the time his second term ended on Dec. 31, 2021, his tenure was also marked by a series of gaffes, high-profile conflicts and strained relationships with progressives and the city’s police.
The former mayor seemed to acknowledge that in his video announcing he was ending his campaign, saying, “I’ve made mistakes. I want to do better in the future.”
De Blasio also said he wants to keep serving the public: “I’m going to find a different way to serve,” he said.
Recent polling had placed de Blasio near the bottom of the field of 13 Democrats seeking to represent New York’s 10th Congressional District. Other candidates in running in the Aug. 23 primary include U.S. Rep. Mondaire Jones, who currently represents a Hudson Valley seat but decided to make a 2022 campaign further south in the metropolis, along with New York City Councilwoman Carlina Rivera, former Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman, who last served in Congress in 1981, and Daniel Goldman, the former federal prosecutor who served as counsel to House Democrats in the first impeachment inquiry against former president Donald Trump.
Rep. Jerry Nadler represents New York’s 10th district now but will no longer live in it after redistricting.
He made his money already from fundraising. No reason to go through the whole rigamarole
ReplyDeleteIf they would have send more 'dineros' he would of not quit and they could of been happy until elections.
ReplyDeleteHe raised around $500,000, spent around $50,000. The leftover will be used to pay legal fees he incurred during his "reign of terror".
ReplyDeleteAre you not ashamed to call DeBlasio an anti semite?
ReplyDeleteI dont like the man because some of his policies were a disaster, but he is no anti semite
Anti semite because he tried to keep some Chareidies from harming themselves and others during covid via mass gatherings?
Frankly anyone reading your rag-blog would think you are an anti semite
Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio ended his U.S. Congressional campaign Tuesday, leaving questions over what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of dollars his campaign raised since May.
ReplyDeleteBefore de Blasio dropped out of the Democratic primary for New York’s 10th Congressional District, he had $450,000 in his congressional campaign and almost $245,000 in his gubernatorial exploratory committee, The City reported.
Election and campaign finance lawyer Aaron Foldenauer, who recently lost a long-shot bid for mayor, told the outlet that de Blasio could use the almost $700,000 in campaign money to settle debts from previous allegations he misused funds.
“De Blasio spent less than 15% of the more-than $500,000 that he raised for his Congressional run, which itself strongly suggests that De Blasio has been using his purported Congressional run to build a war chest to use as a slush fund to pay off outstanding liabilities,” Foldenauer told The City.
The former mayor still owes New York taxpayers around $320,000 for using the New York Police Department as a protective detail during his short-lived New York gubernatorial campaign, The City reported. He also owes close to $425,000 to lawyers who represented him during the government investigation into an alleged pay-to-play scheme involving political appointments and campaign contributions, according to the outlet.
Additionally, two committees created to aid de Blasio’s 2020 presidential campaign, de Blasio 2020 and the Fairness PAC, don’t have enough cash on hand to pay the over $100,000 in combined debt, Federal Election Commission filings show.
