Naomi Rivera To Face Primary Opponent

|

Robert Giuffre sent out a press release last night saying that Assemblywoman Naomi Rivera’s (and lawyer Stanley Schlein’s) objections against his petition signatures had been officially dropped. Emotions ran high during a three-day courtroom battle, said Giuffre, a 27-year-old John Jay College graduate and a Morris Park resident. He added:I know it is hard to believe, but I was more peeved about the awful ballot access process than my own individual campaign. I admit I probably would never have cared this much about the issue if I weren’t personally involved, but the process is obviously intended to keep outsiders away from mounting challenges. Although I made the ballot – eventually – many people who would of made good candidates did not, and that is wrong.
