Ex-cop announces run for Donovan’s House seat
The race to see which Democrat will challenge Republican U.S. Rep. Dan Donovan when he runs for re-election next year is getting more crowded.
Michael DeCillis, a Bay Ridge resident who has served as a police officer and a teacher, said he is ready to take on the incumbent at the ballot box in 2018.
DeCillis, a retired police officer who is now a special education teacher, is the fourth Democrat to announce his intention to run.
In early May, Boyd Melson, a retired professional boxer, announced that he intended to run for Donovan’s seat. Melson is seeking campaign donations through a funding page he has set up on actblue.com, a website that promotes left-leaning and progressive candidates.
