Recchia opens Brooklyn campaign headquarters
Tells supporters congress race is ‘personal, not political'
Being a candidate for political office in a district that spans two boroughs brings special challenges. It means that you have to do a lot of traveling on a large, extended campaign trail and that you need to have two campaign headquarters to ensure that both ends of the district are being covered.
Domenic Recchia, the former Democratic councilman from Brooklyn running against indicted incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm in the Brooklyn-Staten Island 11th Congressional District, opened a campaign headquarters on Staten Island back in March. On June 29, it was Brooklyn’s turn.
Recchia was joined by more than 50 volunteers as he opened his Brooklyn campaign headquarters at the Stars and Stripes Democratic Club at 7321 15th Ave. in Bensonhurst.
