[Fredslist] Gotham's Political Powerbrokers

[Joel Schnur]

Ah shucks, Raj. Thanks for your kind words but with friends like you always there to help out, things always seem to go well. And in next year's races, hopefully Sergio, the man with the 5,000 sq. ft. terrace, and I can bring you on board for some of the campaigns to do that magical stuff that u do so well with computers and fellow Gothamite, David Stein, will churn out all the printing materials we need.

My sincerest wishes to the entire Gotham Family and their loved ones for a Happy and Healthy New Year, whenever you choose to celebrate it.

And even if you are a couch potato, just remember that voting is a privilege you should always exercise.

Love and kisses to all!

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 :-)
