Sen. Peralta Kicked Out of Democratic Club in Latest Fallout Over IDC Move [View all]

Katie Honan

JACKSON HEIGHTS — State Sen. Jose Peralta was booted from his local Democratic club in the latest fallout over his defection to an independent group in the senate — which has prompted rallies and criticism from former allies in Queens.

The 26 board members of the New Visions Democratic Club — which Peralta has been a member of since it began in 2007 — voted unanimously to kick him out as long as he remains a member of the Independent Democratic Conference, which he joined earlier this month.
