A far-left NYC councilwoman who ran for office on an anti-car-agenda and pushed a crackdown on dangerous driving is a road menace who’s racked up four speeding tickets in a little more than a year, The Post has learned. Queens Democratic Socialist Tiffany Cabán was slapped with seven traffic tickets totaling $490 in fines and late fees since November 2022 — including four in the past 13 months for being caught on camera speeding in school zones, a review of city records shows. The remaining summonses on the pol’s black Chevy Cruze include two for blocking fire hydrants, and another...

If Curt Nisly wins Tuesday, May 3, in the Republican Primary for State District 22, it will be without the support of most elected Republican colleagues in the General Assembly. In recent weeks, it’s become clear the Republican leadership in Indianapolis and some Republican leaders in north central Indiana have turned on Nisly, in doing so, throwing a large amount of campaign money and other support toward State Rep. Craig Snow’s campaign. Nisly and Snow are seeking to win Tuesday’s Republican primary in the redrawn District 22. Nisly has served as the District 22 representative for eight years and perfected...

event: Tea Party Rally yesterday... put on by The Southern Tier Tea Party in Binghamton, NY... http://www.stteaparty.com/ here are my photos from the event: http://c5c5c5.wordpress.com/2010/08/21/tea-party-august-21-2010/ This was a rally to get both Maurice "Karl Rove planted the Rathergate memos" Hinchey and George Phillips (conservative who hopes to oppose him in this year's election) to participate in a Q&A. Just as expected, George showed up and Hinchey did not. the local media reports were pretty bad. two out of three local tv news outlets couldn't be bothered to report. Fox 40 was the only one: http://www.wicz.com/news2005/viewarticle.asp?a=15453 and the local newspaper article...

Republican Congressional candidate George Phillips is trying to slay Democrat Maurice Hinchey. Phillips is up against a mighty difficult dragon. At first glance, New York's 22nd Congressional District is predominately rural and above the frost line enough to be Republican. However, a closer look reveals a number of small cities and college campuses that make it the "Run away, run away" district for the GOP. It's gerrymandered to include Newburgh, Binghamton and Ithaca -- along with a long list of SUNY and private colleges. Hinchey, a nine-term incumbent Democrat, never had it so good. Hinchey also benefits from representing a...

(The Politico) Pete Olson, a former chief of staff to Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.), is one step closer to serving in Congress himself. He handily defeated former Rep. Shelley Sekula Gibbs in a runoff to win the Republican nomination, and will be facing Rep. Nick Lampson (D-Texas) in what should be one of the GOP’s top pickup opportunities in November. With 89 percent of precincts reporting, Olson leads Sekula Gibbs 69 percent to 31 percent. Sekula Gibbs had narrowly led Olson in the first round of balloting last month, 28 to 24 percent, but failed to expand her base of...

We Need Your Help on Election Day Dear Friend, Thank you for all your help and support to this point. We are so close and we feel the positive momentum giving us a solid chance for victory.

The National Democratic Party has spent $50,000 promoting a nominal Republican write-in candidate to succeed former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, a move the more prominent GOP campaign called a "desperate" effort to split the write-in vote. The mailout on behalf of write-in candidate Don Richardson describes positions potentially appealing to conservatives who, according to a recent Chronicle-11 News poll, make up at least 55 percent of the district's population. "Don Richardson supports President Bush's Patriot Act," the mailer says. "Do you?" It also says he would put troops on the border to stop illegal immigration, allow law enforcement officials...

Turner, a Houston businessman,...

She was chosen Thursday night at...

Former Rep. Nick Lampson (D-Texas) has nearly $1.6 million on hand and many supporters will soon start “pounding the pavement,” his campaign manager, Mike Malaise, said yesterday. Lampson is challenging Rep. Tom DeLay in the 22nd District, in the Houston suburbs. DeLay easily won the Republican primary Tuesday. Malaise said that many Democratic volunteers had been preoccupied with Democratic primaries in recent months and that now they could focus their energy on defeating the 11th-term former House majority leader. Those volunteers, Malaise added, would primarily canvass districts. DeLay is under indictment in a Texas campaign-finance case, and he has also...
