Golden unfazed by democratic blue wave
The Blue Wave that political observers are expecting to sweep across the country on Election Day isn’t going to reach the shores of Southwest Brooklyn, according to Republican state Sen. Marty Golden.
Golden, who is running for re-election in the 22nd Senate District on Nov. 6, said residents in his district tend to vote on a candidate’s record, as opposed to party affiliation. Registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans two-to-one in the district, but that hasn’t stopped Golden, who first won the seat in 2002, has won re-election every two years since and is now running for a ninth term.
He considers himself a hands-on lawmaker who regularly gets out and engages with the public at events like the Summer Stroll on 3rd and his Summer Concert series in parks.
