It was a day of fun, sun, canoe rides, lots of food and drink, and a chance to meet the next City Councilman. Yes It seems that I am calling the 18th City Council race two months before the primary, and weeks before all the challenges to petitions are finished. However it looks like current State Senator Ruben Diaz Sr. one of seven candidates for this soon to be open council seat has a wide lead over not only his nearest competitor, but most likely he will get more votes than all of his opponents.
As for the event held by the Castle Hill YMCA in cooperation with the Waterfront Alliance, and the Castle Hill Homeowners Association, the canoe rides began once the tide came in. Lifeguards from the Y were in each boat, and life jackets were provided to each person who braved the water ride. Current State Senator Ruben Diaz Sr. the leading candidate for the 18th city council seat, arrived with Assemblyman Luis Sepulveda to meet and greet the people. Mayoral candidate Sal Albanese stopped by before Senator Diaz and Assemblyman Sepulveda arrived.
