A slew of progressive pols will hold a fundraiser next week for Rebecca Lynch, a top candidate to replace Mark Weprin in the City Council.
Bronx State Senator Gustavo Rivera, Queens Assemblywoman Nily Rozic and four council members–Corey Johnson of Manhattan, Ritchie Torres of the Bronx, Brad Lander of Brooklyn and Jimmy Van Bramer of Queens–are set to fundraise for Ms. Lynch at the swanky Plaza Hotel, according to a Facebook invitation. The August 12 fundraiser is asking for donations between $75 and $300. Renee Cafaro, a Democratic consultant, is also co-hosting the event.
“Rebecca is thrilled to have the support of a longtime progressive activist who has held fundraisers for leading candidates throughout the country like Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Comptroller Scott Stringer, Assemblywoman Nily Rozic and others,” said Sally Frank, Ms. Lynch’s campaign manager, referring to Ms. Cafaro.
The four council members are part of the Progressive Caucus, a bloc of 19 liberal council members that has a great deal of clout in the body. The liberals endorsed Ms. Lynch, a former City Hall staffer and Democratic district leader, last Friday.

Play it again Sam, same old sorry story, we can fix it first by raising tax and second because your stupid and We know it know March to the voting booth and vote Democratic.
Young candidates Rebecca Lynch and Ali Najmi will split the progressive vote and Barry Grodenchik will win this one for County by relying on the party loyalist vote.
Limousine Liberals...
Do as we say, not as we do. We know better...
And yes Liz is the moderate {sarc}

Sounds like something Tom Wolfe would write!
Is life imitating art, or art imitating life?
I wonder what food will be served? Little Roquefort cheese morsels rolled in crushed nuts? Very tasty. Very subtle.
Asparagus tips in mayonnaise dabs, meatballs petites au Coq Hardi? Delivered on gadrooned silver platters by maids in black uniforms with hand-ironed white aprons? The butler will bring them their drinks.
Do you think the Black Panthers will be invited? Members of La Raza? Al Sharpton?
Tell me about it. She will bring more crime and government waste. She isn't her own person. Will do what it takes to further her own ambitions at the cost of the working people. She doesn't cate about sending pedophiles to your doors. she will be safe in her gold plated tower she supports lgbt rights yet her donors and volunteered gait bait in the Muslim community "outing" Najimi. She needs to state to that same community that she is lgbt supporter as well. She supports ban the box that will have pedophiles delivering to your doors yet she is horrified that she employed a pedophile to canvas and knock doors in CD23. She again plays both sides. She was a paid lobbyists to taje our public land and built a soccer stadium. She moved back to Glenn Oaks after Weprin's vacated his part time 125k paying it council seat. May i say carpet bagger. She was endorsed by working family party that takes money from the working class to fund criminals. They endorsed Cuomo over Teachout and now Lynch over Najimi. They are not progressives at all. And lynch took lots of money from carriage industry to support carriage horse abuse and advocate for their fake union. A unjoin made up of the owners of the 68 medallions and some drivers. There is no collective bargaining for drivers that are misclassifiedas independent consultant to avoid labor laws aND taxes. Lynch has more compassion for pedophile than she has for horses worked to death in our city
Raised money for Hillary Clinton ?
Politicians are bought and sold like Penny Stock
Their worthless but if you get them cheep it pays dividends
The term "Progressive" really needs to be tarred and feathered in the same manner the term "Communist" was back in the 1950's. They both are basically substitutes for the term "Marxism" anyway. Few people were open and proud to be a Commie back then but these Progs are out all over the place these days. Just shows what a mess this nation has become thanks to them.
Progressives need money to win elections, just like everyone else.
Let them eat cake ..
Why is the fundraiser being held in the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan? don't we have hotels in Queens?
Come on folks.
She looks like the kind of person to take on MS-13.

All the Queens pols are doing fund raising in Manhattan - why do they bother paying any attention to Queens if you groove on their lip service and jump for joy on their chump change thrown in your direction.
The real problem is are clueless immigrants (good luck solving that one) and the clueless hipsters (give 'em a good boot in the arse every chance you get to bring reality into their pointless self indulged lives)
Give her s break,I'm sure she will sponsor laws to protect and coddle violent CRIMINALS and their Rights,she has my vote!!
No more lily white guilt ridden post acne cheerleaders for any office, now every community needs to reflect its population
The 23 district needs no wants a Chinese or African American to lead them in the 21" century,
Little white girls from family's with money should denounce public office, I for one am offended that a spoiled rich white privileged brat with a name LYNCH WOULD WANT TO REPRESENT ME
I prefer someone who looks like me,not a home comming Queen with Horse Teeth!
Damn she's cute but I'm votin Friedrich.
Wake up people
The 23rd district needs someone who will FIGHT for them. We don't need another Weprin representing us in the City Council. I also am voting for Bob Freidrich.
