Congressional Candidates in Dead-Heat Race Look for a Last-Minute Edge in Brooklyn

The New York Sun

With the high-profile race to replace Rep. Major Owens in Brooklyn’s 11th congressional district shaping up as too close to call, the four candidates were scrambling to energize their supporters and to raise last-minute funds in the final full day of campaigning.

The Democratic primary is tomorrow, and unlike the campaigns for Senate, governor, and attorney general, there is no clear front-runner in the 11th, an election that has generated widespread attention for its racial dynamic. A City Council member, David Yassky, has run circles around his opponents in fundraising, but he is the lone white candidate in a district that is nearly 60% black. He has faced relentless charges that he moved into the district with the idea of dividing the vote among the three African-American candidates.

Iowa City, IA — The Chabad-Lubavitch Jewish Student and Community Center will commemorate victims of terror on Monday at The Pentacrest with a Good Deed Mitzvah Marathon Fair, in remembrance of the fifth anniversary of 9/11.

The fair will run from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. and is designed to present members of the campus community with opportunities to do a good deed in memory and in honor of the victims of 9/11.

Tables will be set up on The Pentacrest, at which participants will be able to choose from many opportunities to do a good deed such as to make sandwiches for the homeless, buy a letter in a Torah Scroll, say a prayer, don Tefillin, or give charity to benefit the rebuilding efforts in Israel’s Northern region and the victims of genocide in Darfur. Rain location is in the basement of IMU.
