The Young and the Rising

Bill Lipton, Ed Skyler, Rich Baum, Rodney Capel... These names (and precisely 31 others) can be found on the City Hall News list of "Rising Stars." It's not clearwhat the criteria were for making it, other than that the honoree be less than 40 years old. In any event, the young Manhattan Media publication is hosting a reception at City Hall restaurant tonight for whichever of the young political stars feel like showing up. The full roll of the City Hall News honorees is after the jump. -- Azi Paybarah Rising Stars: The Next Generation of Political Leaders in New York Bill Lipton Kevin Sheekey Ed Skyler Alaina Colon Dan Garodnick Christine Quinn Greg Atkins Joel Rivera Peter Colavito Eric Gioia John Liu Brian Kavanagh Jonathan Bing Kevin Wardally Jef Pollock Melissa Mark Viverito Josh Isay Jessica Lappin Darren Bloch Rich Baum Basil Smikle Jonathan Bowles Sean Maloney Morgan Ortagus Rodney Capel Hakeem Jeffries José Serrano Mike Murphy Patrick Gaspard Patrick Brennan Christopher DeCicco Joe Henriquez McNearney Jamie Van Bramer Mike Gianaris Andrea Batista Schlesinger
