And of course, the Republican delegation in New York supports his candidacy.

The district attorney who oversaw the investigation into the police-involved death of Eric Garner in Staten Island, N.Y., announced Friday that he would run for the congressional seat vacated by Michael G. Grimm, who pleaded guilty to federal tax evasion.
Richmond County District Attorney Daniel Donovan Jr. said he decided to enter the race after noticing a groundswell of support for his candidacy over the last week.“The enthusiasm for my candidacy has only broadened and intensified, with expressions of support also from beyond the two boroughs,” he said in a brief statement Friday afternoon.
He is the first person to officially announce his candidacy for the seat, which serves Staten Island and part of Brooklyn.Grimm, a Republican, resigned from Congress this month after pleading guilty to a single charge that stemmed from a 20-count indictment accusing him of defrauding the Internal Revenue Service and concealing more than $1 million in revenue.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
