Last Saturday afternoon Councilman G. Oliver Koppell held a fundraiser in his home for Mr. Andrew Cohen, Councilman Koppell's choice to replace him in the City Council. The fundraiser was attended by over 100 people including Congressman Eliot Engel, Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz, Candidate for Public Advocate Letisha James (currently representing part of Brooklyn in the city council), sever Community Board # 8 members, and many others. There were several speeches as to why Andrew Cohen should be elected to the city council. Since candidate Cohen is participating in the campaign finance program the money collected at the fundraiser (from residents of the council district) will be matched 6 - 1 by the CFB.
Below are a few photos of the fundraiser.
