Iannece Leads Fundraising for 25th Assembly Seat, Campaign Finance Records Show

CB 11 chairman has brought in more than $125K, while Nily Rozic has raised $74K.

Community Board 11 Chairman has so far raised more money than in the race for the state Assembly's 25th District race, according to campaign finance records.

Iannece has brought in more than $125,000 in contributions, of which $86,403 are for his current bid for the Assembly and $39,219 are from his 2009 race for the City Council.

Rozic, who previously worked for state Assemblyman Brian Kavanagh, D-Manhattan, has raised $74,539.

Iannece's highest contributions came from Alley Pond House Corp., the re-election campaign for U.S. Rep. Joseph Crowley, D-Jackson Heights, and Lynn Iannece, his wife. Elected officials who have contributed to his campaign include state Assemblyman Edward Braunstein, D-Bayside, Councilman Mark Weprin, D-Oakland Gardens, and state Assemblywoman Grace Meng, D-Flushing.

Rozic's top contributors include Fresh Meadows' Gemini Computers Inc., Kavanagh's reelection committee, New York State Laborers' Political Action Committee and family members.

So far, Iannece has been endorsed by City Comptroller John Liu, State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, Queens Democratic Party, Uniformed Fire Officers Association and a number of Queens elected officials, including U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-Astoria, Meng, Weprin and former state Sen. George Onorato.

Rozic has picked up nods from former City Council contender Kevin Kim, Working Families Party, International Brotherhood of Teamsters' Joint Council 16, New York League of Conservation Voters, Hotel Trades Council and EMILY's List.

The Democratic primary will be held Sept. 13.

The local, fresh fruit and vegetable market was a worthwhile addition to Douglaston. Obviously, itRead More did not receive the support of the community, at least not enough to make it a successful venture. This is sad. Every Sunday, rain or shine, I would stop at the market and purchase something. My favorite was the bakery stand. Often, when I stopped in the afternoon I would get two FREE French breads with my purchase. Parking was never a problem. The vendors where friendly and very informative. It was a perfect setting for the picturesque nature of this community. Too bad it is not returning.

Unfortunately, according to the Douglas Manor Association, the fresh fruit and vegetable market willRead More NOT return this year. No specific reason was given other than this was at the initiative of the merchants or the market's organizers. And this..., just as we were beginning to enjoy the Long Island wines and the $34 per pound skirt steak, ordered two months in advance.
