A 2011 special election in New York's 9th congressional district,
comprising portions of Queens and Brooklyn, will be held on September
13, 2011 to fill a seat in the U.S. Congress for New York's 9th
congressional district. Representative Anthony Weiner resigned from
this seat on June 21, 2011 due to a scandal.
Democratic Party nominee David Weprin, a member of the New York State
Assembly, will face Republican and Conservative Party nominee Bob
Turner, a businessman who unsuccessfully sought the seat in 2010.
The district leans Democratic, although significantly less than its
neighboring districts. In the 2010 election, Weiner defeated Turner by
a 61%–39% margin.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is said to be in panic
mode over the prospect of Democrat State Assemblyman David Weprin
losing to Republican Bob Turner in the special election for the Ninth
Congressional District.
David Weprin: Marriage Equality Is A ‘Civil Rights Issue, Not A
Religious Issue’ New York state Assemblyman David Weprin (D) voted
for marriage equality earlier this summer, and now he’s vying for the
congressional seat Anthony Weiner recently vacated. Asked about his
vote, he said simply, “it’s a civil rights issue, not a religious
issue,” adding that “as a legislator,” he votes on behalf of “all the
people.”
Opponant Republican and Conservative Party nominee is Bob Turner.
The special election called for NY-09; the seat was vacated after
incumbent Democrat Anthony Weiner resigned.
From NY Senator Gillibrand: Help Congressional Candidate David Weprin Win
I have an important favor to ask of you. My friend David Weprin is
running in the special election for the 9th Congressional District in
NYC, and he needs your help. With the election just days away, he is
being attacked from outside groups supporting his Tea Party opponent,
Bob Turner.
David currently has a new television ad on the air, but to keep it up,
and win the race, he needs our help. Please click here to rush a
contribution to David ASAP and help him stay up on the air - even as
little as $5 can make a big difference.
David has been a tireless advocate for seniors and the middle class.
His opponent, however, would slash the federal budget and the Medicare
and Social Security benefits our seniors have earned and depend on. In
fact, when The New York Times endorsed David they said, "If Mr. Turner
gets his way, it would be impossible to spare anybody who relies on
the government for benefits or to keep the air clean or their food
safe."
This election is too important to let the Tea Party and outside shadow
groups steal the race. We have the better candidate who is right on
the issues. Now we just need to help him get the word out. Please rush
a contribution of $5 or more to David today.
Thank you for your help.
Kirsten Gillibrand
