Now I found this while digging on Vets for Freedom.
Gary Berntsen (27 year CIA clandestine service) who would have run for senate against Schumer, had he not been defeated by Jay Townsend in the primary, pushed for David Bellavia to run as an independent in the 26th congressional district. Too many things off with Vets for Freedom to ignore. Not even really digging on Christopher Ahn anymore.
