NYC-CC01: NYC Councilman Marte (D) caught on video in suspected removal of opponent campaign flyer
Manhattan Councilman Christopher Marte was caught on video earlier this month removing a palm-sized card from a Lower East Side apartment complex — and a resident as well as a political consultant believe the piece of paper Marte picked up was a campaign pamphlet advertising one of his primary challengers.
The Ring camera video, provided to the Daily News by a resident of the 265-275 Cherry St. complex, is from the evening of May 7.
It shows Marte walking in a hallway in the building holding a stack of his campaign mailers in one hand before kneeling down and using his other hand to pick up a card left by the front door of an apartment.
He can then be seen stuffing that card into a bag slung over his shoulder before continuing into a stairwell.
