A longtime Independence Party activist, who has been accused of making anti-Semitic remarks, may run for mayor in 2009.
Lenora Fulani will announce the formation of an “exploratory committee” today to determine whether she’ll run for citywide office.
While Ms. Fulani will not declare which office she’ll seek, a press contact for her, Sarah Lyons, said she is “most inclined” to run for mayor.
Ms. Lyons also said Ms. Fulani would address the comments she made about Israel “head on.” In 1989, Ms. Fulani wrote, “Jews had to sell their souls to acquire Israel,” and had to “function as mass murderers of people of color.”
