Coney Island-based Dem club looks to beef up membership
CONEY ISLAND — An effort by Councilmember Mark Treyger to revive a grassroots Democratic Party club got a jumpstart on Dec. 17 when the organization hosted a holiday party and membership drive that drew more than 100 people to a well-known Coney Island restaurant.
Treyger, in addition to serving as a city councilmember representing Coney Island, Gravesend and parts of Bensonhurst, is the Democratic Party’s district leader in the 46th Assembly District. The district includes Coney Island and parts of Dyker Heights and Bay Ridge.
In his role as district leader, Treyger is working to revive and strengthen the Southern Brooklyn Democrats Club. The club held its holiday party-membership drive at Tom’s Coney Island, a popular restaurant located on the Coney Island Boardwalk.
