In Public Service, From The Political Staff Of The Brooklyn Daily Eagle
Actress-activist Cynthia Nixon, who is quickly becoming a thorn in Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s side as she challenges him in the Democratic primary, is gaining support at the grass-roots level of progressive politics in Brooklyn.
The Central Brooklyn Independent Democrats organization endorsed the former “Sex and the City” star at a recent club meeting and vowed to “take on the establishment in this race.”
Here was the final vote count at the endorsement meeting: Nixon 32-Cuomo 8. Seven members voted to make no endorsement.
