Any comments from The Board ??

I don't know who this Yassky is but I'm pretty happy with Owen's voting record.

Oh. He's retiring. Listen I'm an idiot so can you please not leave out any details when making posts or I will reply with something ignorant and ridiculous.

lol ... I'll definitely try to do better next time. I added to link to the Observer article because I thought it kind of gave a good background of the history of this district (it sent Shirley Chisholm to congress) and some of the other people who may run ... people with ties to the neighborhood that he doesn't have, like Owens' son ...

Subject: Chris Owens

For more info about Major Owens' son, Chris, who is running for his seat and who lives in P.H. see his website at:

Because Congressional seats don't come open very often this will be a hotly contested race. Congressman Major Owens is retiring and a number of people will run for the seat New York State Senator Carl Andrews, Chris Owens, Councilmember David Yassky and probably Councilmember Yvette Clarke and Tracy Boyland.

It will be a very interesting race.
