Thinking ahead, Capano picks 4 campaign chairmen
Council hopeful set to run for Bay Ridge seat in 2017
The race to succeed term-limited Councilmember Vincent Gentile will begin in earnest in early 2017, but one potential candidate isn’t waiting for the starting gun to be fired.
Republican Bob Capano, who has made no secret of his desire to run for Gentile’s Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights council seat in November of 2017, is already planning ahead.
Capano announced this week on “The Vito and Vito Show,” a weekly political talk show heard on iHeartRadio, that he has picked four prominent people to serve as his campaign chairmen. Former Brooklyn GOP Chairman Craig Eaton; former U.S. Rep. Bob Turner (R-Brooklyn-Queens); former Republican mayoral candidate and WABC radio host John Catsimatidis; and Guardian Angels founder and WABC radio host Curtis Sliwa will be sharing the duties of campaign chairmen.
