Brooklyn’s young politicos travel deep into the heart of Texas
Brooklyn was well represented at a four-day national convention of young Democratic Party activists that took place deep in the heart of Texas, according to one participant, who said he came back energized by the experience.
Bay Ridge resident Kevin Peter Carroll, the Democratic district leader of the 64th Assembly District (Bay Ridge-Staten Island) was part of an eight-person delegation from Brooklyn that attended the Young Democrats of America Convention in San Antonio, Texas on Aug. 8-11.
“This was my first convention and I was really impressed,” Carroll, a 26-year-old City Council aide, said. “When the delegates from Alaska and Hawaii got up to vote, I remember saying to myself, ‘That’s impressive. They came all the way here from so far away to be a part of this convention,’” he told the Brooklyn Daily Eagle
