[CAPITALNEWYORK] ssociates of the civil rights hustler Al Sharpton ...Tawana Brawley's spiritual advisor... are among the donors who have contributed to the Rev. Michael Walrond, the first time congressional candidate who officially declared a challenge to Rep. ![]() Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers!Rangel Congressman-for-Life from Harlem, who became what 20 terms in Congress turns you into ... last month. Walrond, a pastor in Harlem, began raising money late last year. He raised nearly $83,000 in the final quarter of 2013, after registering a committee in November, according to his campaign financial disclosure report. Walrond has just over $78,000 left on hand. Walrond, a pastor at the First Corinthian Baptist Church, is the director of the Ministers Division of the National Action Network, the non-profit advocacy group Sharpton founded in 1991. |

#2 WalrondÂ’s entrance scrambles an expected re-match between Rangel and State Senator Adriano Espaillat, who nearly beat Rangel in 2012 and has also been quietly raising for a run. Walrond's candidacy could potentially peel away black votes from RangelÂ’s base, or perhaps cut into anti-Rangel voters who supported Espaillat last time. Aside from the blatant equivocating, the idea that it's a dilute-the-vote-to-help-Chollie candidacy has merit. |
