Gothamites,

One of the reasons I love Gotham is the number of world-class experts who are members, and share freely of themselves.

Over the past 2 years, Joel & Sergio have become the Political Dynamic Duo, and belatedly, deserve some very well-earned accolades.

It is with great pleasure that I congratulate fellow Gothamites JOEL SCHNUR and SERGIO FERNANDEZ DeCORDOVA on their victory in the open Brooklyn Assembly race in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

During  the early summer I attended the fundraising event that the two of these political powerhouses put together on Sergio’s (absolutely gorgeous) 5000 sq. ft  terraced apartment (the dimension is just for the terrace) that had the  elite of NYC/NYS political establishment and business communities, in attendance.

Throughout  election day, Joel kept on texting me (yeah, it still surprises me that he texts faster than some teenagers...) that the 3-way race was too close  to call but when the polls closed it became evident that their candidate pulled off an overwhelming victory.

More power to Gotham’s in-house political team.

I'm not sure what practical use one politician has over another (the old adage about politicians and diapers still applies in my book), but knowing that we have 2 major powerbrokers an email/call/text away is definitely a hidden benefit of being a Gothamite.


Congrats again guys...and let me now when YOU run for office :-)
