Hikind backs Thompson for district attorney
Calling him the “best choice for the Jewish community,” Borough Park Assemblyman Dov Hikind endorsed Ken Thompson for Brooklyn district attorney over the incumbent, Charles Hynes.
Hikind (D-Borough Park-Midwood), who represents a district with a large number of Orthodox Jews, has always had a reputation for being a political maverick. He announced his support for Thompson at a press conference in Borough Park on July 30.
Thompson, a former federal prosecutor, is running against Hynes in the Democratic Primary on Sept. 10. Hynes, who first elected in 1989, is running for his seventh term in office.
