Bichotte picks up 2 key endorsements in assembly race
Endorsement season has arrived in Brooklyn politics and candidates are busy touting their high-profile supporters, hoping it will sway voters in the Sept. 9 primary.
Rodneyse Bichotte, a Democrat running for the State Assembly seat in the 42nd Assembly District held by the retiring Rhoda Jacobs, picked up endorsements this week from U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries and Councilwoman Laurie Cumbo. Jacobs (D-Flatbush), a 36-year veteran of state politics, announced on May 18 that she will not seek re-election in November.
Jeffries (D-Brooklyn-Queens) touted Bichotte’s record for service. Bichotte is the Democratic district leader in the 42nd Assembly District. “Throughout her public service journey, Rodneyse has been a passionate, thoughtful and effective leader. She has proven her commitment to providing high-quality education, health care, affordable housing and equal opportunity for Brooklyn’s working and middle class families,” Jeffries said.
