Is Adriano Espiallat ciculating petitions for State Senate?


    Adriano Espaillat

     While 13th Congressional candidate & current 31th State Senator Adriano Espiallat announced at the Ben Franklin endorsement meeting that he was not going to circulate petitions for state senate We have received a copy of a petition for Gabriella Rosa for member of the Assembly in the 72nd A.D. Also on the petition in the spot for 31th State Senate is the name of the current state senator and 13th congressional candidate Adriano Espiallat. We are trying to confirm this, we were unable to reach Senator Espaillat or anyone from his campaign at this time.
    As soon as we get official word as to if Senator Espaillat is circulating this petition or if his name is being used as a place holder should he win the 13th Congressional race that the committee of vacancies would then name another person to run for the 31st State Senate position we will let you know.

UPDATE******
   We spoke to Senator Espaillat's campaign spokesperson who said that the candidate running for assembly in the 72nd Assembly District was responsible for the petition. Espaillats campaign also said that Mr. Espaillat did not authorize the use of his name for the petition, and has asked that it not be circulated anymore, We were also told as it looks now Senator Espaillat should be the new congressman from the 13th C.D. 

       When we took a closer look at the petition we noticed that the highest level position was not on top as is usual on most petitions, because that the top position is generally responsible for the petition. We also noticed that Mr. Mark Levine the current Male District Leader in the 72nd A.D. was listed as a judicial delegate but not as a candidate for district leader. In fact the important positions of Male and Female District Leaders were not listed at all on the copy of the petition that we saw that included the male and female State Committee members listed.
