Norwood News Campaign Dinner Coverage
Looking Ahead to 2009
by ALEX KRATZNORWOOD NEWS
Pastor Fernando Cabrera says he feels a little like President-elect Barack Obama these days — he wants to see a change in Bronx politics.
Cabrera, who heads New Life Outreach International Church in the North Fordham area, is throwing his hat into the already crowded ring of challengers hoping to unseat Maria Baez, who is now free to run for a third term, thanks to Mayor Bloomberg’s successful effort to extend term limits for city politicians from two terms to three.
Cabrera’s not worried about the crowded field of candidates.
He expects candidate Yudelka Tapia, who was counting on support from Baez’s former boss, Assemblyman Jose Rivera, to drop out of the race. He says he’s talked with candidate Hector Ramirez, the 86th Assembly District Leader, about alternatives to their running against each other. And former candidate Haile Rivera, fresh off his successful stint as a field organizer for the Obama campaign in Florida, has yet to announce whether he’s getting back into the race.
A couple of weeks ago, Baez ramped up her re-election bid with a fund-raiser. Now, Cabrera’s doing the same. Cabrera said he raised $10,000 at a fund-raising dinner Monday night for 100 supporters who contributed $100 a plate. Two more events before the end of the year are in the works, he said.
Plus, he has a loyal congregation and an activist group, Community Action Unlimited, at his disposal.
“We have the support, we have the troops and we have the money,” Cabrera said.

Kick Off Fundraising Dinner...
At 7:30pm the guests began to arrive at the venue. The tables were delicately decorated with silverware, drinking glasses, coffee cups and center pieces of red, white and blue balloons. By 8:00pm the chatter was heightened as people began to mingle and laugh...the smooth jazz playing in the background, as the well dressed waiters stood by their tables readily alert. And the fun began, the first, second and third courses were served to over 70 supporters, and it was time to hear Dr. Cabrera's speech. Mr. Greg Faulkner introduced Dr. Cabrera and he was greeted by a standing ovation, cheers, claps and whistles resounded in the entire facility as he took the podium under his banner with bright balloons in the background, he thanked everyone and gave and inspiring heart felt speech. As he closed off the speech, all the guests were then served their fourth course with coffee or tea.
The dinner was done in excellence. It was magnificent...and I dare say magical. The supporters were excited. It was indeed an impressive night!
On behalf of Dr. Cabrera and his entire family, he thanks everyone who helped make this night possible.
"I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to all you who made last night campaign dinner a total success. I was truly proud of you all who made this event possible by how you took hold of this event and made it happened. I saw some of you give your utter dedication and effort in making sure that this event would take place in a level of excellence."
