Sears Also Running for Queens Borough President?
City Councilwoman Helen Sears is another council member who will be term-limited out of office in 2009 and may be running for a higher office.
Sears is seeking donations up to $3,850, the Campaign Finance Board’s contribution limit for borough president candidates, at a December 19 fund-raiser. The event takes place at 5:30 at the restaurant 17 Murray and the invitation gives top billing to Christine Quinn.
A message left for the treasurer of Sears’ campaign committee was not immediately returned.
Running in that race already are Peter Vallone, Jr., Leroy Comrie, and, possibly, Audrey Pheffer.
This is a joke. Helen Sears can't even manage her own district office. She has been without a chief of staff for about a year. How can she possibly run for higher office when most of her constituents find her to be utterly useless! She is quite possibly the most ineffective city council member in the history of the city.
Is she running for Beep, or walking?
