The unions, it seems, have picked their candidate in this race.
I hope nobody goes to this corrupt elected officials fundraiser. The money will end up in Columbia or supporting one of his relatives or friends in Queens.
Not true even in the slightest of ways. And certainly whatever money he raises is better off in Monserrate's hands than in a case of scotch whiskey in the back seat of Sabini's car.
Anon, did you forget this is the man who most likely will be indicted?
Queens Voters again I remind you that Monserrate has the worst attendance at the city council and has numerous shady dealings. He should be in jail and not running for office.
