Bill de Blasio for Public Advocate

Went to fund raiser for Bill de Blasio a couple of nights ago. Bill is our City Councilman (district 39) and now he's running for Public Advocate. Marty Markowitz gave a nice intro, and Bill gave a good talk about just what it is that the Public Advocate office is meant to be, and the particular importance of that role when there is a very strong mayor.

Bill also pointed out that most New Yorkers don't realize there is an election on September 15 - the NYC Democratic Primary - and that the Democratic nominee for P.A. will almost certainly be elected next November.

So, hey, the six of you New Yorkers who might see this, talk to me. Public Advocate is one of only three city-wide elected positions (Mayor, Comptroller, Public Advocate). It's important.
