Although his campaign manager has resigned and his political peers continues to shoot harsh words towards him, Anthony Weiner will stick it out and stay in the race for New York City mayor.
As reports surface about Weiner's exchange of lewd photos with women despite resigning from Congress in 2011 and his standing in the polls continue to fall, the City Island Civic Association has invited him and Christine Quinn to appear before the organization tomorrow.
The City Island Civic Association will be meeting on Tuesday, July 30th at 7:30pm at 190 Fordham Street.
CICA will have two guests at the next meeting, former Congressman Anthony Weiner and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn. Both are candidates to be the next Mayor of New York City.
Letters were sent to all announced candidates as of 04/30/2013. So far, the only announced candidate to attend has been Adolfo Carrion, Island resident and Independence Party nominee. City Comptroller John Liu also attended our January meeting, before he declared his candidacy.
Congratulations, you have arrived. Remember, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. But just to be sure, you could also be watching old episodes of “Gossip Girl” and “Sex and the City” to prepare for your adventure.
