Help Steve Harrison Win (CD-13) this July 4th!
Right here in NYC we have a corrupt Halliburton Republican Congressman--Vito Fossella. Vito doesn't stand up for New York, he stands up for his buddies Dick Cheney and Karl Rove and for scandal-ridden companies like Enron and Halliburton. Furthermore, as recently reported, Vito is just as corrupt as these companies he represents. It is time to defeat NYC's very own Halliburton Republican.
Steve Harrison is the Democrat who is gunning for Vito Fossella's Congressional seat. Steve Harrison wants to represent Staten Island and Bay Ridge, the 13th Congressional District.
Steve will be running in the 28th Annual Pepper Martin Memorial West Brighton Run. Come and cheer him on as he has a chance of placing in the top 10 for his age group. Steve is a sponsor of this run, so he will say a few words after the race. The race goes by Steve's campaign office (370-A Forest Avenue), where we’re manning a water station. Please come help with that, or run the race with Steve and get a free T shirt. (Registration for runners begins at 7:00am).
Course begins on Clove Road, near Staten Island Zoo, and finishes in the Forest Avenue end of Clove Lakes Park.

I'm not too familiar with Steve Harrison. He's not nearly as well known as Frank Barbaro, nor has he seemed to be as aggresively courting the progressive vote/support as Barbaro did. What are Harrison's qualifications? I wish David Yassky had decided to run in this district instead, because Fossella is just waiting to be knocked off by someone who has the qualifications and money to do it.
Gets strong inside support...
Harrison gets strong support both in Bay Ridge and Staten Island from insiders. He is fairly conservative as Democrats go and may once have been a Vito supporter. That may be one reason he isn't courting the progressives much. But my contacts on the ground in that district (one a reform Democrat and one a progressive Democrat who previosly worked for Barbaro) have met him and like him and they think he is a great campaigner.
I also wish we had Yassky in that race. But he never sounded that one out as far as I have heard.
