Herman Badillo
was a Puerto Rican politician who served as Borough President of The Bronx and a member of Congress. He ran for Mayor of New York City. He was the first Puerto Rican elected to these posts, and the first Puerto Rican mayoral candidate in a major city in the continental United States.
In 1993, Badillo – though still a Democrat – campaigned for Comptroller of New York City on a fusion basis with Republican Rudy Giuliani's mayoral campaign. He also sought the Democratic nomination, but finished third, behind Alan Hevesi and the incumbent Comptroller, Elizabeth Holtzman. Although Giuliani won the general election, Badillo, running on the Republican and Liberal party lines, was defeated by Hevesi.
This is a great political item for any collector.
