Treyger-McCreight race enters home stretch
Democratic district leadership post on the line
As the closely watched race for Democratic district leader of the 46th Assembly District (AD) entered the home stretch in anticipation of the Sept. 13 primary, candidates Mark Treyger and Chris McCreight each sought to establish an edge over his rival.
McCreight, a political consultant from Bay Ridge making his first run at a political post, touted his grass-roots campaign and his ability to connect with Democrats where they live.
Chris McCreight said he loves traveling around the 46th AD, knocking on doors and talking to Democratic voters about issues. To prove his point, he announced last week that he had knocked on his 14,000th door during this campaign. The milestone came when he was meeting voters in Dyker Heights accompanied by Councilmember Vincent Gentile (D-Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Bensonhurst).
