Seddio: Last man standing in Democratic leader race
As most observers expected, former Assemblyman Frank Seddio was chosen Wednesday night as the new chair of the Brooklyn Democratic Party, replacing embattled Assemblyman Vito Lopez.
In the weeks leading up to the vote, many Brooklyn reformers who had opposed Lopez’s rule also were skeptical about Seddio, noting his past association with Lopez and fearing that Lopez would still be pulling the strings.
Now, however, most are willing to give Seddio a chance — because Seddio himself committed to reforms within the party.
