Brooklyn’s BP-elect Eric Adams ‘Can’t wait to get started’
Says he will introduce legislation as part of ‘proactive’ approach
State Senator Eric Adams, Brooklyn’s new Borough Present-elect, is poised to replace Brooklyn’s popular three-term BP Marty Markowitz.
On Wednesday, the day after his landslide win over Conservative Elias J. Weir, Adams, a former NYPD captain and founder of 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care, described for the Brooklyn Eagle the ways that he will leave his own indelible mark on Brooklyn.
“The Office of the Borough President can play a major role in shaping Brooklyn’s future as a leader, advocate and organizer,” he said. “First, the office can improve access to government resources to those who need them. Second, it must be pro-active in its approach to wider policy and challenges. For instance, growing the Brooklyn economy by partnering with businesses that will look out for working families.
