Margarita says she's not running, and so does her protege, Councilwoman Rosie Mendez. Similarly, Darren Bloch attended Sylvia Friedman's victory party last night and made it emphatically clear that he is not a candidate. If Steve Kaufman runs, as he says he will, one of Roosevelt's leaders will probably support him, and one will support Sylvia, exactly as occurred during the County Committee vote. Kavanagh is simply grasping at straws here.
