In New York City last night, the Staten Island Democratic Party officially nominated Brooklyn Councilman Vincent Gentile to take on Staten Island Republican's selection, District Attorney Daniel Donovan, in the race to replace former Congressman Michael Grimm.
Just over two months away from the May 5 special election, Mr. Gentile accepted his party’s nod to run for the seat, which consists mostly of Staten Island with some smaller slices of Brooklyn.
The councilman–widely seen as the party’s third choice a Staten Island Assemblyman and a former Congressman opted not to run,, emphasizing his determination to defeat the heavily favored Mr. Donovan.
Some elected official present at the event, argued that Mr. Gentile has a strong chance of winning the election despite the abysmal history of Brooklyn candidates who have sought the seat.
