That is an awesome idea. Maybe someone, many someones should suggest it to him. Wonder if he has ever thought of doing that? Guess if he did there would be those shouting how he is not a true NYer but just politically ambitious. The Dems would be shouting it the loudest, in spite of the fact that Hillary fits that bill to a tee.
Regarding Joel Rivera vying for the Council Speakership...he is the majority leader but right now he is only 24 years old so I don't know if he really has a chance. His dad is a NY Assemblyman too....for many years I understand but I don't know his first name.
