NYC Council District 5 primary recommendation

On: May 12, 2021 By: admin

Getting involved with NYC elections isn’t hard for 2A activists. It really just requires making a decision as to which is the “best” candidate to vote for in any given race. That often means choosing the least-worse candidate, but it doesn’t matter. Elections are a choice, not a referendum on the issue.

In the June 22 Democrat primary for Council District 5 the choice is simple: Vote for anyone but Kim Moscaritolo. According to her bio: She spent two years as the Legislative Committee Chair of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, lobbying elected officials in Albany and fighting for gun safety throughout the state.

That is totally unacceptable. There are 7 candidates running in that race and with low turnout anyone can win. 2A victory shall be defined as Moscaritolo losing.
