Who Sent Out This Campaign Ad?

Ill give you a hint: he is running in a three-way primary in Brooklyn.
If you said Simcha Felder, a city councilmember running in the democratic primary for a state senate seat in Brooklyn, you guessed right. Felder, maybe with the help of Mayor Michael Bloombergs generous support, has been flooding the 21st Senate District with mailers all cloaked in an eye-catching yellow and black theme.
We know he isnt the only one though.
With less than two weeks before the primary, where all of the states senate and assembly seats are up for grabs, mailboxes across the city are probably littered with this type of campaign material (For more on the individual races check out Who’s Running for What).
We want to see more.
Gotham Gazette would love to see what has come into your mailbox this election season. If you use Flickr, tag scans and photos of your NYC campaign materials with “Gotham Gazette” and “elections08.”
When we find them, well post them on the Wonkster.

This flyer is a real joke. He’s independent? He took over $2 million dollars from Mayor Mike & gave it to special interests. He was for congestion pricing ( the mayor bought his vote). He must think that people are stupid.
