Subject: RE: Obit: Jimmy Longhi (Nov 2006)
I believe Jimmy Longhi once unsuccesfully ran for Congress as a Republican! That was in a galaxy long ago and far away, and he was also endorsed by the American Labor Party, which later became the Liberal Party after kicking out those who wouldn't take an anti-Communist pledge. New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia was also a candidate of both the Republican Party and the American Labor Party.
