Reform crowd comes away inspired by Brooklyn DA candidates
There were more than 150 people representing 14 of Brooklyn’s diverse grass-roots Democratic Clubs that came together ready with questions and emotion to check which candidate is the right pick to serve the people as Brooklyn district attorney.
The seven candidates sat in front of rows of filled-pews at the First Unitarian Church on Pierrepont Street in Brooklyn Heights Monday night, sandwiching in two moderators of the town hall sponsored by the Brooklyn Reform Coalition. The crowd brought applause, bouts of silence and occasional boos.
“Tonight’s event was actually inspiring,” audience member Malynda Rascoe said. “I learned a lot about the candidates that I did not know prior to coming to today’s event aside from what I researched.”
