Brooklyn Dems celebrate Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn’s 50th birthday
She built Brooklyn’s voting block as strongest county in U.S.
On Tuesday, the Brooklyn Democratic Party kept the party going. It celebrated Leader and Assemblymember Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn’s 50th birthday with a rousing and politically inspiring celebration featuring prominent political leaders, including Gov. Kathy Hochul, Attorney General Letitia James, Mayor Eric Adams — along with high-profile labor and community leaders.
Celebrating Much More Than a Birthday
In addition to her 50th trip around the sun, Bichotte Hermelyn had much more to celebrate. She recently won two re-elections: as Assemblymember for Brooklyn’s 42nd AD (Flatbush, Midwood and Ditmas Park), and a second historical term as Leader of the Brooklyn Democratic Party, the first woman and black woman leader. She also led groundbreaking state, city and borough-wide Democratic midterm election victories as Party Chair.
