Greeting-
If what you say is true, and based on some other things that he has
said and done I believe you, then I agree very much and I would welcome
any help in dealing with him especially if folks also live in the
district.
I would be willing to run against him if he does not turn around,
but I doubt I would have much of a chance as I am a well educated middle
class white male and the district is mainly black with some latino.
Only a small sliver of it is in Park Slope where folks tend to be better
educated middle or upperclass of a very diverse ethnicity and sexual
preference.
