Jamaal Bailey Announces for 36th State Senate Seat



   With many Bronx elected officials and community leaders 83rd A.D. Male District Leader Jamaal Bailey in front of the Butler Memorial Church announced his intention to run for the 36th State Senate District. The 36th State Senate District currently is held by State Senator Ruth Hassel-Thompson who unsuccessfully ran for mayor of the city of Mount Vernon last year. However Senator Hassel-Thompson has been tapped by Governor Andrew Cuomo to join his administration as of July of this year. 
    Joining Mr. Bailey as you will see in the photos below were a wide range of Bronx elected officials from Mr. Bailey's current boss Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, to the Bronx Democratic County Leader Assemblyman Marcos Crespo. Also on hand were Bronx Democratic County Committee Chair Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz, Bronx Democratic County Democratic County Committee Treasurer Assemblyman Michael Benedetto, so one would have to think that since this is going to be an open seat in the Democratic primary that 83rd A.D. Male District Leader Jamaal Bailey has the inside track for the Bronx Democratic County organization endorsement. City Council members Vanessa Gibson, Andy King, Andrew Cohen, and Fernando Cabrera joined the many people who came out to hear the announcement by Mr. Bailey that he is running for the 36th State Senate District.
