last - minute campaigning were Dan Padernacht, a former candidate in the race whose base would have come from Amalgamated and elsewhere in Kingsbridge Heights; Councilman Oliver Koppell, wearing an American flag - themed tie on what he called «my holy

developed over the course of
several election cycles — and a box of Mallomars for his mother.
