Three more local pols endorse acting DA Gonzalez
Three local Brooklyn politicians, Monday added to the list of more than 20 elected officials that have endorsed acting Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez to stay in the borough’s DA seat.
Assemblymember Walter Mosley and Councilmembers Laurie Cumbo and Robert Cornegy, representing a total of five Brooklyn neighborhoods, threw their support to Gonzalez in hopes he will continue the late DA Ken Thompson’s legacy.
“The families of Brooklyn are well-represented and safer because of Eric Gonzalez,” Cumbo said in a statement. “His commitment to providing second chances for our young people and restoring faith in our criminal justice system is why I fully support him for Brooklyn District Attorney.”
Gonzalez has raised about $1.5 million so far and collected nearly 60 endorsements from varying groups and figures to place him in the lead out of the remaining candidates.
