Rep. Dan Donovan (R-NY) “successfully fended off a fierce challenge from his predecessor, Michael Grimm, avoiding the ignominious fate of losing re-election to a convicted tax cheat,” the New York Times reports.
“Mr. Grimm had resigned his Staten Island seat in 2014 and pleaded guilty to felony tax evasion, serving seven months in prison. But not long after he was paroled, Mr. Grimm began plotting his comeback bid to unseat Mr. Donovan, the former Staten Island district attorney who had replaced him in Washington.”
