Looking for G.O.P. Candidates on Staten Island
The death of Frank Powers means Republicans on Staten Island are, again, looking for someone to run for Vito Fossella’s seat.
So, who’s on the list?
Scratch off District Attorney Dan Donovan, whose spokesman said he hasn’t changed his mind from last month about not running for the seat. Also not interested in running is City Councilman Vinny Ignizio. When I asked him to appear on video saying he doesn’t want to run, he declined, calling it “a moot point.” City Councilman Jimmy Oddo and State Senator Andrew Lanza haven't changed their minds either.
Who does that leave?
