Seen above at the May 2013 Ben Franklin Democratic Club Mayoral Debate, then candidate former City Council Speaker Christine Quinn is said to be eyeing a return to elected office. Just what office Quinn may run for has not been announced, but she did head Governor Andrew Cuomo's Women's Equality Party movement that resulted in the WEP receiving over 50,0000 votes statewide which made it an official state designated party. However since the November 2014 election there has been little if any movement by the WEP since gaining a ballot line. In fact when going to their website there still remains a posting to vote on the Women's Equality Line in November 2014 so it can become an officially recognized state ballot line.
Quinn is reported to be regretting having not played up the nickname she received during the election by some like us - "One Pushy Broad'. Quinn took the high road, and tried to win the mayors race on her record which was not enough as we have learned. Then there are some who have said that overturning the term limit law was her demise.
We do hope to see former Speaker Quinn take an active role in the 2017 race for mayor, be it as a candidate or some other form such as a consultant. We miss the 'Pushy Broad'.
