“Giuliani never gave Al the time of day from 1994 to 2002. Sharpton I believe ran for mayor of NYC in 1997 and almost did in 2001.”
Sharpton has run unsuccessfully for elected office on multiple occasions. Of his unsuccessful runs, he said that winning office may not have been his goal, saying in an interview: “Much of the media criticism of me assumes their goals and they impose them on me.
Well, those might not be my goals. So they will say, ‘Well, Sharpton has not won a political office.’ But that might not be my goal! Maybe I ran for political office to change the debate, or to raise the social justice question.”
Sharpton ran for a United States Senate seat from New York in 1988, 1992, and 1994. In 1997, he ran for Mayor of New York City.
During his 1992 bid, he and his wife lived in a home in Englewood, New Jersey, though he said his residence was an apartment in Brooklyn.
His actual goal would have been to steal as much campaign cash as possible. I’m sure he succeeded handsomely every time he ran.
