FERRER AD CRITICIZING BLOOMBERG FEATURES SHARPTON
The Democratic mayoral nominee, Fernando Ferrer, released a radio advertisement yesterday that features the Reverend Al Sharpton criticizing Mayor Bloomberg for skipping a debate this Thursday at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. In the ad, Rev. Sharpton says, “You have to ask yourself, if Bloomberg wants our votes, why won’t he come to our neighborhood and answer our questions?” Though Messrs. Bloomberg and Ferrer attack each other regularly on the campaign trail, Mr. Ferrer’s is the first negative ad of the election. And, by using a black leader to deliver the message, the Ferrer camp is trying to target black voters, who many analysts say could be crucial in deciding the election. Mr. Sharpton also questions Mr. Bloomberg’s record on reducing unemployment among black men and improving the high school dropout rate. A spokesman for the Bloomberg campaign, Stuart Loeser, said Mr. Ferrer was distorting the facts: “Under Mike Bloomberg, minority unemployment in New York City is going down,” he said. – Staff Reporter of the Sun
