Treyger-McCreight race highlights Democratic divisions
The 46th Assembly District (AD) takes in parts of Bay Ridge and Coney Island, with the Belt Parkway serving as a connecting line between the two separate parts of the district. In an intriguing development in an unpredictable political year, the race to elect a new Democratic Party district leader is highlighting divisions between the two ends of the diverse district.
The current district leader, Mark Davidovich, confirmed to various media outlets that he does not plan to run for re-election.
Even before Davidovich made his plans public, a candidate from Bay Ridge declared his intention to run for district leader.
Chris McCreight, one of the founders of the Bay Ridge Democrats political club, announced that he is running. He made his big announcement at a meeting of the Bay Ridge Democrats on Feb. 11.
