What will Bill Samuels and his New Roosevelts do now that they’ve reached their goal of defeating Pedro Espada? According to a press release, they’re taking their show on the road-and bringing Gustavo Rivera with them-to throw support behind Mary Wilmot, a Democratic candidate running for State Senate in Rochester against a Republican incumbent.<br /><br />The most-likely-to-be-elected Rivera was in Rochester today to officially endorse Wilmot, who, in turn, had endorsed him against Espada back in August.<br /><br />Samuels, a wealthy businessman and former candidate for Lieutenant Governor, founded the New Roosevelt Initiative this year to change Albany, he says, by helping to elect more “reform-minded candidates.”  His<a href=”http://www.norwoodnews.org/story/?id=2023″> group spent much of the summer campaigning in the Bronx against Espada</a>, handing out leaflets, knocking on doors and pledging $250,000 to see Rivera on the ballot instead.<br /><br />NRI said the group’s next move is to help get more women elected to the legislature. The general election will be on Tuesday, Nov. 2.
