Congressional candidate takes time off for military training
A candidate running for a Brooklyn congressional seat had to take time off from the campaign trail because Uncle Sam called him to duty.
Democrat Max Rose, who is challenging incumbent Republican-Conservative U.S. Rep. Dan Donovan in the Nov. 6 election, left the campaign trail for two weeks to take part in training exercises with his National Guard unit, his campaign announced.
The training exercises began during the week of Aug. 5.
