Template:TOCnestleft Carolyn McCarthy is a Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives, representing New York's 4th congressional district.
New Party backing
The New Party of Long Island backed three candidates for office in the Fall of 1996: State Assembly candidate Thomas DiNapoli and Congressional candidates Carolyn McCarthy and Nora Bredes. "NP members collected the necessary signatures to nominate progressive Democratic Assemblyman Tom DiNapoli on the New Party line, making this the first Democratic Party/New Party fusion effort. The chapter is supporting a major voter registration drive in African-American and Hispanic communities in McCarthy's district."[1]
Supported by Council for a Livable World
The Council for a Livable World, founded in 1962 by long-time socialist activist and alleged Soviet agent, Leo Szilard, is a non-profit advocacy organization that seeks to "reduce the danger of nuclear weapons and increase national security", primarily through supporting progressive, congressional candidates who support their policies. The Council supported Carolyn McCarthy in her successful House of Representatives run as candidate for New York.[2]
EMILY's List
McCarthy was supported by EMILY's List during her campaigning.
