Bay Ridge Democrats back Seminara for district leader
Joanne Seminara, who is locked in a battle with Betty Ann Canizio in the race for female Democratic district leader of the 64th Assembly District (AD), has won the backing of the Bay Ridge Democrats.
The club announced its endorsement of Seminara on June 1. The 64th AD includes parts of Bay Ridge and Staten Island.
“Joanne has been fighting on behalf of Bay Ridge for over three decades. She is unique because she sees politics purely as a means to an end which is service. From her early days as a parent organizer at P.S.185 where her two children attended, to her nearly 20 years serving as a member of Community Board 10, Joanne has been an outspoken and unflagging advocate for our neighborhood,” Jamie Kemmerer, the club’s spokesman, said in the endorsement announcement.
