It seems as though anyone who will show support for a man who has
lived in the 33rd
district for over 10 years, spent his years since moving to NYC from Puerto Rico involved
in progressive organizations, and helping people like President Obama get elected will be deemed a
Rivera campaign worker.
City Action has made expenditures
in the Bronx race on behalf of a candidate who does not even
live in the
district ---- something that is allowed
in redistricting years ---- but enjoys one key strength
in the race: his name is Joel
Rivera, the same as the 12 - year incumbent he is hoping to replace.
