A political tidbit from David Freedlander of The New York Observer, concerning State Senator Daniel Squadron, who represents the Lower East Side:
The New York City Campaign Finance Board updated their list of all candidates for 2013 city elections, and tucked in among the names was that of State Sen. Daniel Squadron… Squadron has long been seen as a comer, but it is not clear where he would jump to next. A citywide run–either for comptroller or public advocate–would be likely, assuming that the incumbents in either of those seats decide to run for mayor. A citywide race would be an uphill climb for someone relatively new in public office, but Squadron would not have to give up his Senate seat in order to run. A source close to Squadron said the State Senator is just keeping his options open.
