ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) -- It is official. Former Rochester City Court Judge Leticia Astacio confirms to News10NBC that she's running for Rochester City Council.
On Monday night, Astacio opened up to News10NBC about her new campaign.
Astacio's announcement comes three weeks before her felony trial. She is accused of trying to buy a shotgun at Dick's Sporting Goods, which violates the terms of her probation on her 2016 DWI conviction.
If Astacio gets the appropriate amount of signatures, she can run. If she is convicted and sentenced to jail or probation, the New York State Board of Elections says she can serve.

Rochester used to be such a nice city back in the 60s
pre riots
The City of Rochester has become a shit hole.
They literally killed it. It’s like driving through Mogadishu with snow.
AND it had street lights to tell us when we were done playing for the day! :-)
She's not running for President....😊
That’s part of how I want to remember it too. I’d toss in an Abbott’s custard while at the beach.
It was a wonderful childhood.
I lived on the Eastside.
When I put my daughter in the Public School in 1968, the first message to my daughter to take home was....Teachers don't make a lot of money.
I took her out of the Public School and put her into a Private Catholic School....and never looked back.
I grew up just off Thurston, went to 16, West High, and Monroe(thanks intergration). Wouldn’t step foot in that neighborhood now.
The only surprise is Dick’s is still in the gun business.
She has the one qualification that most of the Dems running for president have. A criminal background.
It really was, until the Mafiosi and black agitators targetted it it in the early '60s. Rochester might have survived one or the other, but not both, IMHO. I lived there at the time. Great university and colleges center, very high technology employment. Its quality affected the surrounding area for a hundred miles out in any direction.
The Buffalo/Niagara falls impact was quite different, and in the wrong direction. I lived and worked there later on, also.
I heard it all while serving as Volunteer Fireman in the Gates-Chili Volunteer Fire Company 1964-1967. Followed the developments as they were happening on our company's dispatcher radio. Adjacent suburban volunteer trucks were detailed to fill in for the city fire companies responding to riot activities. In 1963 I lived on Magnolia Street, the year the agitators were warming up the responsive culture there in preparation for the 1964 (I believe well-planned and pre-scheduled) outbreaks.
What they did in 1963 was to drum up raucus block dances and street parties in those "special" areas, with the object being to break down social resistance to public display of misbehavior and overcome the inhibitions of potential rioters to act out their ignited passions.
I missed all the “fun.” We came to Gates from Canada in the seventies. And yes, I’m a naturalized citizen who takes great offense to all these non-productive/on the dole illegals who are being given a freeeeeee education courtesy of King Kuomo.
