Recchia launches grassroots campaign push
With a little over three months to go until Election Day, Democrat Domenic Recchia, hoping to wrest the congressional seat that covers Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and Staten Island away from Republican Michael Grimm, focused his campaign on the Brooklyn end of the two-borough district on Saturday, organizing a group of volunteers to go door to door for him to talk to voters.
Recchia came to the Stars and Stripes Democratic Club on 15th Avenue to kick off what his campaign labeled a weekend of volunteering.
Dozens of volunteers came to the political club, heard a pep talk from Recchia, and then fanned out throughout the neighborhood, knocking on doors.
