Working Families Party endorses Harris for Assembly
Democrats to decide this week on candidate
With the Democratic County Committee poised to meet this week to select a candidate to run for the state Assembly seat vacated by Alec Brook-Krasny, would-be candidates are busy working behind the scenes to try and secure the support of committee members.
Pamela Harris, a Coney Island civic activist; Kate Cucco, Brook-Krasny’s chief of staff; former Councilmember Michael Nelson; and Bay Ridge lawyer Cody McCone are all campaigning to win the Democratic Party’s nomination to run for the seat in the 46th Assembly District (AD).
Brook-Krasny resigned from the Assembly in July to take a lucrative job with a medical lab. A special election to fill his seat will take place on Nov. 3, the same day as the regularly scheduled election.
