Walker launches campaign for Boyland’s Central Brooklyn Assembly seat
AD 55 without representation for almost a year
Latrice Walker officially launched her campaign for Brooklyn’s 55th Assembly District at Borough Hall on Monday morning with endorsements from a Who’s Who of Central Brooklyn elected officials, clergy members and other leaders.
District 55 includes Brownsville and Bedford-Stuyvesant, along with parts of Crown Heights and Bushwick.
Walker, long-time community liaison for Congresswoman Yvette Clarke, is running for ex-Assemblymember William Boyland’s seat. Boyland was convicted of bribery and extortion in March, and his legal problems have left the district without political representation for almost a year.
