Democratic State Senator Malcolm Smith, who is floating his name as a potential Republican mayoral candidate in 2013, says he’s reaching out to all communities to gather support for his mayoral campaign. And in an interview with Y0ssi Gestetner, he explained why he might have some particular appeal in the Orthodox Jewish community.
“I always boast about Yeshiva Darchei Torah, which is in the district that I represent,” Mr. Smith said of his support from Orthodox voters, mentioning the Jewish school in Far Rockaway. “More importantly, it’s the same values and interests that we share in the Orthodox community, and that is the job that I would have as mayor, … trying to help everybody and trying to help individuals who are in need and have a better life for them and their family.”
