Letter to the Editor: Sen. Squadron’s resignation a Democratic Party failure
To the Editor,
A few weeks ago, I met Sen. Squadron at his office as part of a delegation of his constituents from Indivisible Nation BK (INBK), a grassroots activist group composed of Brooklynites who came together to fight for progressive causes following the unexpected election of Donald Trump.
One of the first things we did during our meeting was thank Sen. Squadron for his hard work on electoral reform in Albany. After all, Sen. Squadron’s signature issue for the better part of the last decade was making New York state’s government more transparent and responsive to its citizens.
He went so far as to sit across the table from me and lament the fact that he hasn’t had a primary challenger in years. He made it clear that he thought the occasional intraparty battle of ideas is a good, healthy thing for our democracy.
