We have been told that there are serious defects to the petition of J. Gustavo Rivera for the 33rd State Senate District. These claims come from two separate sources and are of a different nature. Both sources claim that they will have candidate Rivera knocked off the ballot for the September Democratic Primary. in the 33rd District. These challenges to the petition will be heard on Tuesday, and we don't want to speculate on them as of now because we can not substantiate or deny the charges.
On first glance however this could wind up a two person race in the 33rd State Senate District between incumbent Pedro Espada Jr. and challenger Dan Padernacht. We have seen similar instances where this has happened to invalidate items on a petition.
