DFNYC Evening of Action for Democrats Mark Murphy & Andrew Gounardes
Thursday, Oct. 25th in Brooklyn
~ Join DFNYC for GOTV activities in South Brooklyn for two of DFNYC’s endorsed candidates
~ Help Unseat Incumbent Republicans Congressman Michael Grimm and State Senator Marty Golden
DFNYC endorsed Mark Murphy for Congress in the 11th District. Mark is running against Republican incumbent Congressman Michael Grimm, the worst of the tea partiers, who has already been severely wounded by investigations into possible violations of campaign and ethics rules. He is particularly vulnerable to Murphy’s challenge and we’re hoping to turn this red seat blue – a key pick up for Democrats in the U.S. House. Recent polls show that when voters learn the truth about Grimm, Murphy takes a 15% lead in the head-to-head contest. Murphy's race is a must-win and it's up to us to achieve victory - right in our own NYC backyard. For more info on Murphy, check out his campaign website at www.electmarkmurphy.com.
DFNYC endorsed Andrew Gounardes this past summer. Andrew is a progressive grassroots Democratic candidate running a strong campaign against incumbent Republican State Senator Marty Golden in Brooklyn. In addition to voting against the interests of tenants, working people, and the LGBT community, incumbent senator Golden also became infamous for trying to host an event to teach women “the feminine presence” as a way to find jobs.
