Brooklyn Tea Party endorses McCabe for council
In a progressive city like New York, where political candidates usually try to outflank each other on the left, there is one Brooklyn City Council where the right still has a strong voice and where people running for office court it.
The Brooklyn Tea Party is stepping into the Republican Primary in the 43rd Council District (Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Bensonhurst, Bath Beach). The party has endorsed Republican Liam McCabe for the Council seat.
Brooklyn Tea Party President Glenn Nocera said the endorsement was made out of a conviction that McCabe, a former aide to U.S. Rep. Dan Donovan (R-C-Southwest Brooklyn-Staten Island), will fight for the community.
