Raquel Batista, Democratic candidate for New York City
Council’s 15th district, gave birth to a healthy baby girl, Carmen,
at 12:23 am August 14. Both Raquel and
Carmen are doing well. Raquel would like
to thank Montefiore hospital for the great care they have given her.
Raquel continued to campaign hard throughout her pregnancy,
leading canvasses and working phone banks. She
attended events and rallies and was successful in defending the challenges
against her designating petition, (as was reportred on) which would have kept her off the
ballot. All well into the advanced
stages and due date of her pregnancy.
The Batista campaign said that 15th candidate Raquel Batista wants to thank all those who helped her, but she is planning to take some time off to recover and
spend time with her new born daughter Carmen. Raquel Batista said that she will be back out on the campaign trail
soon.
