Brooklyn Conservative Party’s first couple recalls road to romance
Conservatively speaking, they’re a cute couple!
Conservative Party sweethearts Christine Sisto and Liam McCabe, founders of the Brooklyn South Conservative Club, are proof that true love can blossom in the heat of a political campaign.
The two started dating in 2012 when they were both working on U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm’s (R-C-Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Staten Island) re-election campaign. Grimm had won his first term in congress in 2010 and was running for a second term. McCabe was the director of Grimm’s Brooklyn re-election campaign office and Sisto was hired by the congressman as a campaign strategist. The long hours, the stress, and the junk-food eating habits acquired by those who work on political campaigns don’t sound like a recipe for romance. But the campaign is what brought the couple together.
