In spite of having more than twice the money and a party enrollment advantage of more than 3-1, Democrat NYC Councilman Lew Fidler lost to newcomer Republican David Storobin in the SD-27 special election by 16 votes.
This is especially amusing as Fidler’s campaign paid for a pro-gun control mailer to the district which angered one of our members sufficiently enough to go out an vote against him.
