Brooklyn Dem boss in ‘illegal’ judge elex gala

JUSTICE IS blind, but fund-raisers are supposed to be transparent.

A Brooklyn spokesman for several judicial candidates told the Daily News that’s not the case with an event the head of the borough Democrats is planning for Aug. 23.

Gary Tilzer, a rep for five of the 11 candidates vying for six Brooklyn civil court judgeships, sent a letter Monday to the state and city boards of elections, as well as to the Judicial Campaign Ethics Center with the Office of Court Administration, saying borough Dems chief Frank Seddio is hosting an “illegal” fund-raiser.

Seddio, an attorney, sent the invitation to more than 185 guests — including sitting judges, judicial candidates, attorneys, developers, politicians, lobbyists and members of the Judicial Screening Committee. The invite vaguely touts fundraising “to support our contested countywide candidates.”

It’s not clear who the event is for, which election or the date of the election. “The laws are strict on fund-raising for judges in order not to pull these kind of shenanigans,” said Tilzer. “I’d like them to put a stop to this illegal fund-raiser.”

Seddio was not available for comment.
