Nick Perry Swears That He Is No Drop-Out
Last week, the publisher of "Footnotes" newspaper (Maurice Gumbs), had a lengthy conversation with Assemblymember Nick Perry. From this encounter Gumbs has stated emphatically that Nick is running for the 11th Congressional seat. This surprising news item comes amid speculation that Perry was a late scratch from the crowded field. It further bolsters a recent report in the Caribbean Life newspaper, wherein Perry was quoted as saying " reports of my political demise ( regarding this race)are grossly exaggerated". Today there is even more speculation that the late scratch will be Yvette Clarke instead, since Ms. Clarke is widely seen as hitting the same voting base ( Caribbean-Americans) as Perry. There is also speculation that Ms.Clarke is having fundraising issues. My feeling is that Yvette is determined to contest this race no matter what. Others expecting to make the race include Council-member David Yassky, State Senator Carl Andrews and Chris Owens who is the son of the current incumbent Major Owens. Four of the 5 prospective candidates are black, with Yassky being the only white entrant. The district has roughly 75% non-white residents. Yvette has nothing to lose staying in this race, unlike Nick (and Carl) who has to give up his seat to run. I will be shocked if she drops out and think she has a fair shot of winning this thing. She had brunch with Stonewall members last week and seems very determined (not that this in-and-of-itself means anything) and has hired a fundraiser recommended I think by Emily's List. As to Nick, if he stays in, this is good news for David.  If Denise O'Donnell, who's never run for anything, is a credible candidate on the basis of gender, then Yvette Clarke, who ran a very credible race last time in the same turf, cannot be counted out.
