Maloney Could Replace Frank on Finance Committee; Williams Might Challenge Rangel

NEW YORK

• Carolyn Maloney could get Barney Frank's job, even at risk of 'Armageddon' (By Azi Paybarah, Capital New York) Maxine Waters of California has the most seniority, but is under investigation for allegedly violation House ethics rules. Next in line is Carolyn Maloney, whose district is in Manhattan and Queens. One Waters supporter within the Congressional Black Caucus said there'd be "Armageddon" if she doesn't get the spot, according to The Hill.
• Potential Rangel Foe Claims Strong Poll Position (BY Celeste Katz, Daily News/Daily Politics) Clyde Williams, a former adviser to President Bill Clinton with ties to President Obama, didn't want to blindly challenge the 42-year incumbent. So Williams hired one of Mayor Bloomberg’s pollsters, Whitman Insight Strategies, to ask 600 likely Democratic primary voters in the district if they would re-elect Rangel.

Grassroots Organizers Pay a Visit to Carolyn Maloney Asking for Congressional Hearings on Discrimination Against Independent Voters

NYC Independence Party organizers from NY CD 14 delivered over 120 signatures from constituents calling on Congress to hold public hearings on the second class citizenship of independent voters to NY Rep. Carolyn Maloney's office yesterday. Independents are not allowed to vote in primaries in New York and other states, a discriminatory practice meant to exclude 40% of the electorate.
