An assistant to eccentric billionaire John Catsimatidis—the supermarket mogul who unsuccessfully sought
the Republican nomination for New York City mayor in 2013—sent a
quasi-anonymous email poll asking New Yorkers their thoughts on Mayor
Bill de Blasio and his potential rivals, a possible prelude to a second
try at Gracie Mansion for the businessman.
A source forwarded the Observer a survey emailed to him from a group
calling itself the “Red Zone Report,” which listed its address as 800
Third Avenue, Fifth Floor, New York, NY 110022. That address corresponds
to the offices of Catsimatidis’s Red Apple Group, which runs the
Gristedes and Red Apple grocery store chains, as well as his various
real estate investments.
The message—subject lined “Poll on New York
City Mayor 2017, 4 questions”—contains no other indication of its
origin, and intimates it is merely seeking recipients’ opinions.
