Brooklyn Democrats for Change endorse Harrison

via a Brooklyn Democrats for Change email;

At our general meeting on August 7, we endorsed Steve Harrison in the race to be Democratic Nominee in the 13th Congressional District.

Brooklyn Democrats for Change had previously not endorsed a candidate back in the spring when the race was between Harrison and Recchia. The club is actively encouraging members to support Harrison in campaign efforts.

Random Notes

It is too late to start writing something new;

* A commenter says Domenic Recchia did not show up to the Brooklyn Democrats for Change forum on Monday. Can anyone confirm this? update: as one of the commenters in this post notes Domenic Recchia was unable to attend due to a family related matter. Harrison choose not to speak out of respect for Recchia not being able to attend.

* Dan Rivoli has a new piece out in City Hall news on Recchia. I will try to dive into this tomorrow.

* Steve Harrison calls for Spitzer to step down;

"I am very, very disappointed by the betrayal of Eliot Spitzer," said Steve Harrison, a Democratic candidate from Bay Ridge seeking to unseat Congressman Vito Fossella. "He has admitted to what he did. This was a man who was a champion of honesty. I call upon Eliot Spitzer to step down right now."
