POLITICAL ENDORSEMENT

The race for New York's City Council in the First District hits close to home for me, literally.  That's because I live in the Financial District, and that is also the World Headquarters for GaySocialites.com.  Regular readers know that, but what many of you may not know is that I considered running for this seat myself.

Living in a rent stabilized building that stands the threat of instability or forced evictions to make way for new condos, having someone who can represent my personal interests is clearly important.  In the primary, the incumbent Alan Gerson, was defeated by Margaret Chin.  Chin, also a resident of the Financial District turned heads doing what many of us thought we couldn't do... beat the incumbent.  

Clearly a strong personality and a grass roots leader, Chin is what we need to represent the First District of the greatest city in the world.  The person who represents from Chinatown to Battery Park and from South Ferry to Battery Bark City also represents the land on which City Hall sets.  We need a dedicated leader with a solid agenda.

That's why GaySocialites.com would like to endorse Margaret Chin for Cty Council in our district.  We hope the 'neighborhood gays' will rally behind us and swing by the poll to vote for Chin.  She's what we need, and I'm happy to put my support behind her.
