Promoted by Liza on 23 April.
Dear Friends and Readers of TDG,
Many friends, family, community residents (and sometimes even complete strangers to me) have urged me to run in 2009 for the Council seat of the 14th Councilmanic District (Bronx), which is currently represented by Councilwoman Maria Baez.
I will say, here, for the first time in public, that I am giving it serious consideration and hope to make a decision by August or September of this year.
Many believe that I am related to Jose Rivera (Chair of the Bronx Democratic Party) his son, Joel (NYC Councilmember & Majority Leader) and daughter Naomi (NYS Assemblywoman). While I am not, I do consider myself a friend and I believe that the Bronx, City & State are better thanks to elected officials like Jose, Joel & Naomi. If I decide to run, Without any doubts, I will reach out to them for their support.
In the coming months, I will be reaching out to several unions, elected officials, community leaders and friends and get their take on a possible HAILE RIVERA FOR CITY COUNCIL candidacy.
Thank you for reading this message. If you ahve any questions, please feel free to email them to me at: hailerivera@yahoo.com [1]
Sincerely,
HAILE RIVERA
Bronx resident
