Only after Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion named Elizabeth Holtzman a co-chair of his city comptroller campaign did I realize that she is an outspoken proponent of impeaching George W. Bush–a movement that hasn’t gained much traction even in heavily Democratic New York State (although it’s slightly more popular in Vermont).
A former city comptroller, congresswoman and district attorney in Brooklyn, Holtzman has written a book and articles on the topic–just last Sunday, she spoke to Democratic activists in Manhattan about impeachment.
When I asked Carrion’s office if the borough president holds the same view as his co-chair, communications director Anne Fenton e-mailed back:
"BP is proud of Holtzman’s support, but he does not comment on his supporters’ political position on national issues."
