Benjamin Kallos, an attorney and consultant, said in an interview today that will seek the seat currently held by Councilwoman Jessica Lappin. Councilwoman Lappin is thought to be running for Manhattan Borough President, where the incumbent, Scott Stringer, is expected to run for Mayor.
Should that set of dominoes fall in place, Mr. Kallos said he “absolutely” will campaign for the seat and has already opened a 2013 campaign committee for the endeavor.
