Gangemi brings old school-style politicking to DA race
His candidacy is being treated in political circles as a quixotic quest, but Bay Ridge lawyer John Gangemi said he is in the race for Brooklyn district attorney for real. Gangemi said he firmly believes he would make a good district attorney. “I feel like I could add something to the office,” he said.
Gangemi is 78 years old, but said he doesn’t let age slow him down. “I ride motorcycles. I have horses. I travel,” he told the Brooklyn Eagle during an interview in his Fourth Avenue law office.
Gangemi, a Democrat, said he is aware that running for DA will be an uphill battle for him.
