Congratulations Jose Peralta!
As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, Jose Peralta beat Monserratte in a landslide! With 94 percent of the vote counted, unofficial returns from the overwhelmingly Democratic 13th State Senate District showed Mr. Peralta with 66 percent and Mr. Monserrate with 27 percent. The Republican candidate, Robert Beltrani, an administrative law judge, came in third with 7 percent. “Tonight we put an end to dysfunction,” Mr. Peralta told a crowd at a restaurant in East Elmhurst. “Our nightmare is over.” Thank you to everyone who made it out to Queens to canvass, thank you to those who phone banked, and a huge thank you to the amazing MYD Media team who put together some memorable moments for our enjoyment.

Monserrate Shunned in Jackson Heights – We Have Video
Yours truly was down at Jose Peralta HQ last Sunday helping to make sure Hiram Monserrate, the domestic abusing coup instigator re-running for State Senate in a special election after he was thrown out, doesn’t come within spitting distance of the finish line. While I’m there video taping a rally, this guy decides to campaign right outside the door. What ensues is both hilarious and ridiculous. Watching Monserrate stumble around without a clue as to what he’s doing is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s fact. Whata mook.
Jose Peralta Named Education Reformer of the Month
Democrats for Education Reform, a nationally respected organization that encourages dialogue on education reform among members of the Democratic Party, has named Jose Peralta their “Education Reformer of the Month” for March: José is a product of his parents’ sacrifice and has spent a lifetime working to ensure everyone in our community has the opportunity to succeed.

It’s Official: Hooligan Hiram is Either Blind or Stupid
Thug, Plagiarizer, and all around disgrace Hiram Monserrate officially kicked off his campaign of shame this afternoon in District 13. He was hilariously introduced as the “next Senator from Queens,” as if hadn’t been drop-kicked out of the Senate following an alleged attack on his girlfriend. Continuing in his delusions, he defended his campaign’s blatant ripoff of the Obama branding. “This logo is similar to the logo that they use but slightly different because the logo actually is a “Q” which stands for the great borough of Queens. If folks had really analyzed it, they would have seen it.” Uh… We DID. Here is the Obama Logo (red/blue) next to the Hiram Logo: Here is the Obama Logo (Monserracolors) next to the Hiram Logo: … More >>
Get Mad AND Get Even
Here at goMYD we’ve been a little heavy on the Monserrate coverage as of late. That’s because as of today there is only one week left in the campaign to replace him and the reasons to get involved are many: – Hiram Monserrate is symbolic of everything that is wrong with New York politics. He is literally a criminal, and participated in the farce that was the June Coup of last year. Marriage Equality: This is our very first chance to convert a NO (Monserrate) into a YES (Jose Peralta) Monserrate was convicted of domestic abuse. That should never be rewarded. Allies of Monserrate have been using anti-gay literature to generate support for him, one of his supporters is a … More >>
No, You Can’t.
Yesterday MYD pointed out that convicted domestic abuser and expelled State Senator Hiram Monserrate had left his campaign site untended, allowing people (like you) to go and tell him (and anyone else that would then visit his site) what a cruel clueless egomaniac he was. We hit social media with it and the story made it around the internets until eventually City Room at the New York Times ran a quick piece on it. Alas today the site is changed, guestbook gone, and arrived is a new index page that looks like this: It had been reported before that he was using “Yes We Can/Si Se Puede” in the spirit of either Obama or Cesar Chavez – but to actually … More >>
