Catsimatidis backer Eaton now in Lhota’s corner
Brooklyn Republican Party Chairman Craig Eaton, who supported John Catsimatidis in the GOP mayoral primary last month, has announced that he is now backing Joe Lhota for mayor.
In a statement released on Oct. 2, Eaton called on his fellow Brooklyn Republicans to support Lhota.
“I was proud to support John Catsimatidis in the Republican Primary,” said Eaton, who has served as chairman of the Brooklyn Republican Party for six years. “But Republican voters chose Joe Lhota as our nominee, and I will do everything I can to elect Joe in November,” he said.
