| Description | Republicans may be heading for a split with Conservatives in the special election to replace Anthony Weiner, backing a Manhattan lawyer with ties to Rudy Giuliani and Bob Dole, and not with the political neophyte who did surprisingly well in the race two years ago.
Juan Reyes has emerged as “the number one candidate” for the Republican nomination, said a Republican source, speaking on condition of anonymity because the decision was not finalized yet.
Reyes interned in Bob Dole’s office, worked on the Bush-Cheney campaign, and was a member of Rudy Giuliani’s administration, serving as Counsel to the Loft Board and as general counsel of New York City Office of Standards and Appeals.
Reyes is now a partner as Reed Smith, a major Manhattan law firm.
“He can raise a million dollars…the guy’s Rolodex is phenomenal,” said the Republican source. |
