Brook-Krasny and McCarthy square off
Assemblymember Alec Brook-Krasny and his opponent, Republican Conservative Tom McCarthy went toe-to-toe in a civil debate focusing on growing the economy, hosted by the Dyker Heights Civic Association on October 9.
Moderated by DHCA President Fran Vella-Marrone, a coin was flipped to see which candidate would give a three minute closing speech. The loser of the toss gave a three minute opening statement. The candidates answered questions from the audience and each was given a chance to give a one minute rebuttal to their opponents comments.
Native Ridgeite McCarthy gave the opening remarks, saying that he brings experience with finance to the table.
