| Description | Silver Lake Democrat Alex Borgognone has pulled the plug on his challenge of Rep. Michael Grimm (R-Staten Island/Brooklyn).
"New and unexpected business opportunities have arisen, the timing of which has to be acted upon immediately," Borgognone said in a prepared statement. "Consequently, I cannot pursue these opportunities and devote myself full time to the voters of Staten Island and Brooklyn."
Borgognone, who co-owns his family's restaurant in the Bronx, was the first Dem to formally say he would challenge Grimm, and had taken the steps of raising money and setting up a fund-raising committee with the Federal Election Commission. |
