Recchia unveils 1st campaign commercial, Grimm predicts win
There was no summer vacation for Republican-Conservative U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm or his Democratic opponent Domenic Recchia. In fact, things are just starting to heat up in this race as Labor Day approaches.
On Aug. 20, Recchia unveiled his first television commercial, a spot called “Saturday.” In it, the former Brooklyn councilmember appears to be offering the voters a look at his life as a husband and father as he goes about his business in both the Brooklyn and Staten Island ends of the district.
“This ad showcases why I got involved in this race nearly two years ago,” Recchia said. “I believe that this district deserves new leadership that can be trusted to fight for working families each and every day. As a husband, father, and small business owner, I understand what it’s like for middle class families in this district, whether it’s traffic on your way home from work or to a baseball game or having to include tolls in our family budget. I’m going to be a voice for them and I won’t ever give up.”
