Will it be U.S. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, or will Michael Grimm Persevere?
U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm (R-C, Brooklyn-Staten Island) maintains his innocence in the face of 20 federal charges contained in his indictment and claims he is a “political” target because he is the only Republican member of Congress in New York City.
“I know I’m a moral man, a man of integrity,” he told one news outlet. “And I also know I have a lot more service and leadership to provide this country, and that’s exactly what I intend to do.”
Many of those who have watched his performance over the past four years believe that Grimm will stick it out and still have a fair chance of getting re-elected in November in the very heated race with Democrat Domenic Recchia.
