It appears that @newkingsdems has won 8 of its 9 contested district leader races!! (Seddio’s opponent lost and the female DL race in Bed Stuy is too close to call)
Also my homie Monique Chandler-Waterman beat councilmember Narcisse in AD 58.
Rodneyse Bichotte is in real trouble

the Brooklyn Democratic Party is going down to defeat tonight
Brooklyn Can't Wait reform coalition candidates are uncontested or winning in 22/42 seats
a seismic election
I think the Brooklyn Democratic machine is going down to defeat tonight
they are currently losing in 21/42 district leader seats and probably will lose the 22nd as the remaining vote comes in

Before it gets lost tonight, reformers may have picked up 22 of 42 District Leader seats in Brooklyn. Big shout out to @newkingsdems.

The Brooklyn Dems may be getting a new leader. Really bad night for Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn.

This article is nearly ten years old. It describes how the @bkdems ran the party. I joined county committee about ten years ago and this was my first meeting. Last night, reformers finally took the majority of 22 out of 42 district leader seats. Winning against power takes patience and determination. Thank you @newkingsdems @BKYoungDems @LIDbrooklyn @BklynCantWait

Gina and Tony Argento donated $80k to the Brooklyn Dems & Party Boss Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn—the latter praising the Argentos & their plan.
Yet the Argentos lost County Committee, Assembly & District Leader elections to local groups, like Rep Your Block. People power wins!
This feels like a good time to (re)introduce ourselves. 👋

The 2024 election was a wake-up call for NYC Democrats. Why did we lose ground, and how do we build back stronger? Watch @MC_of_A and NKD’s deep dive and support a brighter, progressive future: youtube.com/watch?v=tHJ8jx7w…

Brooklyn deserves a Democratic Party that empowers its people, not silences them. Our leaders are blocking reforms and enabling corruption while grassroots voices are ignored. It’s time for change. Join us in fighting for a truly democratic Brooklyn. newkingsdemocrats.com/time_t…

County Committee members writing postcards for Harris/Walz during downtime at today’s County Committee meeting!
Reading this quote in a 1972 New York Times article on the eve of the 2024 County Committee Organizational Meeting, where we will once again be advocating for proxy reform and changes to the judicial selection process, is a good reminder that this has been a long fight!
