Public Advocate candidate Dawn Smalls came to the Riverdale area to campaign outside of PS 81 on Riverdale Avenue. PS 81 is one of the largest poll site in the 81st Assembly District where turnout is normally very heavy. However for this Public Advocate Special Election the turnout is extremely low here and in other poll sites around the city. By 11 AM only 138 people had voted at PS 81 where as in a regular election the total number of votes would be over 600 votes.
Candidate Dawn Smalls removed her hat, and one can see a rainbow of hope above her as she campaigns to be the winner in today's Special Election to be Public Advocate.
