Annual Bronx Democratic County Christmas Party and Ugly Sweater Contest



  Even Mayor Bill de Blasio knew that the Annual Bronx Democratic County Christmas Party was the place to be Tuesday night. The mayor was also influential in choosing the winner of the Ugly Sweater Contest. This party was a who's who of Bronx politics, and even a few of the many declared candidates for the soon to be vacant Public Advocate seat were 'In the House'.
