But I think this race is about a lot more than factional politics. It’s about democratizing the County Committee and bringing a progressive, transparent and participatory brand of politics to Brooklyn. Viewed that way, Assemblyman Lopez’s retrograde politics is a symptom of the broken system I want to fix. I think my independence, energy and passion for reform makes me most capable of fixing it. In any event, I think the voters are interested in something different. I certainly am. That’s my gambit. I hope my campaign catches on.Jesse Strausshttp://www.jessestrauss.comnoreply@blogger.com
