A Guide to Your Longshot Mayoral Candidates
Adolfo Carrion
Being a Republican this cycle makes you longshot enough; add to that that the former Bronx Borough President recently paid a $10,000 fine for breaking the conflict-of-interest law. He was also recently a mid-level HUD official in the Obama administration. “White House officials were concerned about his ability to manage relationships with senior administration officials, including Mr. Obama’s senior adviser Valerie Jarrett,” the Wall Street Journal reported. “She and other officials also believed he was using the office to further his career, the people said. One person familiar with the matter said the White House also eventually became concerned that Mr. Carrión hadn’t been forthright with White House officials about some details about the Conflicts of Interest Board investigation.” Um, yeah, good luck becoming mayor.
