Race To Replace Monserrate

Jose Eduardo Giraldo held his campaign kickoff party Nov. 20 at Extravaganza Night Club, 33-15 56th St. in Woodside.

Giraldo, a vice president at the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Queens, is running to replace the seat being vacated by Corona Councilman Hiram Monserrate who was elected to the State Senate in November.

The field is shaping up. Monserrate's Chief of Staff Julissa Ferreras, Community Activist Francisco Moya and Carlos Pena have all filed with New York's Campaign Finance Board.
