We need your help

Rangel decided that the voters should be stripped of their right to vote. He is trying to throw us off the ballot so you don’t have a choice on Primary Day, June 26.

Our campaign poses a threat to the status quo that permitted a few to benefit at the expense of the rest. He fears our campaign and would rather FIGHT US IN COURT THAN AT THE BALLOT BOX.

I will earn the trust and vote of residents in this district, but need your help to fight Rangel in court. With your help we will beat him at the ballot box and give voters in our district a real choice on Primary Day.

Democrat Craig Schley, Endorsed by Republican Party And Dominican-American Community Leaders

Dear friends and supporters,

I am a Democrat, always was and always will be. But I fight every day to represent everyone in this district - Democrats, Independent and Republicans - a job the other candidates are not willing to do. This is why I have just accepted the endorsement by the Republican Party. A number of important Dominican-American community leaders endorsed me as well and our coalition is growing. But these are just first steps.

Now, lets win the Democratic Primary on June 26 together!

Your candidate,
Craig Schley

New York, NY - Last weekend Democrat Craig Schley’s campaign against Rep. Charles Rangel and New York State Sen. Adriano Espaillat scored big victories and began the promise of unifying the new 13th Congressional District. One endorsement comes from a large number of Dominican-Americans in the district which poses a big blow to Espaillat who is Dominican himself. Another comes from a party that had previously cross-endorsed Charles Rangel six times, the Republican Party, who now sees Schley as a unifying force in the new District.

Getting Stopped And Frisked In Harlem

Stop and Frisk is a citywide problem, but the numbers for the 13th Congressional District show why we Harlemites need to take a lead on ending the civil rights abuse.

In East Harlem’s 23rd precinct, which stretches from 96th to East 115th streets, 17,498 people were stopped in 2011 — the most in the borough and the sixth-most citywide, according to the New York Civil Liberties Union which is in the process of analyzing the 2011 data for a new report.

Coming in second in the borough was Central Harlem’s 32nd precinct, where 12,859 people were stopped last year, the 18th most citywide. Inwood and Washignton Heights’s 34th precinct came in third, with 11,548 stops — 23rd among the city’s 70-plus precincts, the data show.

The Midtown South precinct, which spans Times Square, Penn Station and 34th Street, recorded 10,665 stops in 2011, placing it fourth in Manhattan and 28th citywide.

And another section of East Harlem, covered by the 25th precinct north of E. 116th Street and east of Fifth Avenue, saw 9,926 stops in 2011, making it fifth in the borough.
