Now that Mayor Bloomberg has officially announced his intentions to have term limits extended, there is one question on the minds of the residents of Boro Park & Flatbush: Will Joe Lazar continue his race for NYC Councilman Simcha Felder's seat?
Joe Lazar, a first-time candidate for public office and a retired government employee, told the New York Sun in an exclusive last week, that he intends to run against incumbent Councilman Simcha Felder if term limits are extended. "I have every reason to continue running, no matter what happens,? Mr. Lazar told the New York Sun. Of all the candidates interviewed by the New York Sun, Joe Lazar was the only candidate in New York City who went on record as actively opposing an incumbent member of the city council.
In contrast, the other candidate for this council seat, community activist and attorney David Greenfield said "Councilman Simcha Felder has done an outstanding job as our representative in the city council. If term limits are extended I will do everything I can to ensure that Simcha is re-elected.?
When asked his thoughts on the potential Felder vs Lazar race, David Greenfield predicted "Simcha Felder will win that race by a landslide."
As of this posting, no statements have been given by either Felder or Lazar since Bloomberg's announcement.
