Peter Cammarano held his meet and greet event at the Elysian Cafe between 6-8 PM last night with his newly announced slate of Candidates Mike Novak, Frances Rhoades-Kearns and Angel Alicea. The event was well attended and according to his campaign manager they gathered over 175 signatures for Petitions and estimated the crowd to be around 200 people total since some came and went during the evening.
I got there at 8PM to a full restaurant when the event was originally scheduled to be wrapping up. Many stayed well past 10PM. Besides the candidates and Peter other notables that I spotted included Fred Bado, Maurice Fitzgibbons, Perry Belfiore, and Joshua Henne who is on his campaign.
Comment: I do not hide the fact that I have disagreed with many aspects of Peter Cammarano's voting record. I can tell you objectively that the event was very well attended and that is in no way an endorsement of one candidate over another.
I received this email from Mike Novak on Friday and Peter Cammarano and his slate are having a meet and greet tomorrow night at the Elysian Cafe Tuesday March 3rd from 6PM-8PM. Here is the text from the promotional email:
