Carroll raises funds for re-election campaign…in 2014!
It's never too early, says district leader
It’s never too early to start raising funds for your next re-election campaign, even if you’re not on the ballot until 2014.
That’s the philosophy of Kevin Peter Carroll, the Democratic district leader of the 64th Assembly District (Bay Ridge-Staten Island), who is currently serving his second term and doesn’t have to run for re-election until next year.
Carroll, who lives in Bay Ridge, held a fundraiser on Sept. 12 at Vesuvio’s, a restaurant on Third Avenue, where more than 125 Democratic Party officials, lawmakers, and Bay Ridge community activists packed into the party room to toast him and sing his praises. Among the notables there were Kings County Democratic Party Chairman Frank Seddio, state senators Diane Savino and Eric Adams, assembly members Alec Brook-Krasny and Walter Mosley, and council members Vincent Gentile, Letitia James and Domenic Recchia.
