As a funeral will be held for Queens City Councilman Thomas White today, there are rumors about someone who may run for his seat: Nicole Paultre Bell, fiancee of Sean Bell, the man who was killed when police opened fire on him and his friends hours before his wedding. Politico's Maggie Haberman reported yesterday that she was being asked by community members to run. According to the Daily News (which also notes that she's become politically active and is often at the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network meetings), "Her lawyer refused to comment on the report, but coyly mentioned that she would pay her respects to White at his funeral today."
