Democratic clubs flowering in Trump era, Carroll says
Republican President Donald Trump is giving a big boost to the rival Democratic Party by fostering an almost unprecedented rise in grass-roots political activism, according to Assemblymember Robert Carroll, who implored the president’s opponents to keep it up.
Speaking at a dinner held by the Central Brooklyn Independent Democrats (CBID) on April 23, Carroll said the resistance work done by the club is vital.
“With Trump in the White House, we need Democratic clubs like CBID to be strong and ready to fight. I know CBID will be at the forefront of the resistance against Trump’s policies, and rest assured that I will be fighting right there with them,” Carroll (D-Park Slope-Windsor Terrace) said in his remarks at the club’s 48th annual dinner at the Bell House.
Carroll, who was elected to the New York state Assembly in November, also presented an award to his predecessor, former Assemblymember James Brennan, at the dinner.
