Seddio tosses hat back into the ring
Frank Seddio, who has served as both a judge in Surrogate’sCourt and as an assemblymember in southeastern Brooklyn, hasdeclared his candidacy – sort of – in a yet-to-be-declared race forcity council.
At the February 2 meeting of the Thomas Jefferson DemocraticClub, in Canarsie, Seddio said he would be running for the seat inthe 46th Council District assuming that the current occupant, CityCouncilmember Lew Fidler, is successful in his bid for StateSenate.
People ask me, why do I want to do it? noted Seddio. I wantto do it because it’s what I am about. I have been part of theneighborhood my entire 65 years. I have the best opportunity tojump into the position and start from day one doing the rightthing, making sure everything we get [thanks to the efforts ofFidler and his predecessor, former Councilmember Herb Berman]continues to come into the district. I have years of experience. Iknow what to do. I think I have the best ability to bring back thethings we need every day.
