Kristen Gonzalez, a tech worker whose campaign was supported by the Democratic Socialists of America, declared victory in the Democratic primary for State Senate District 59.
With more than 95% of the votes counted, Gonzalez garnered 58% of the vote total and performed particularly well in Brooklyn. Challenger Elizabeth Crowley earned 33%, with Mike Corbett receiving 6.35%.
Gonzalez earned the backing of almost every elected official in the district, including Greenpoint’s own Assemblymember Emily Gallagher…
Thus person is not a Democrat, but solid socialist, we can hope that these socialists can be held to New York, where people seem to be happy with them. I don’t understand hiw the teamsters union members can support a socialist I guess they are not real Americans.
Don’t worry, she works for Amex and will probably drop the socialist agenda once she gets into office.
I don’t get it. Hipsters in my district on local blogs are always complaining about muggings, dangerous violent people on the street, robberies etc. etc. but they elect this socialist who is all for eliminating most bail and letting repeat dangerous criminals back on the street sometimes the same day.
I mean we don’t want another Rudy G, ie shoot first and ask questions later but also don’t want the other extreme.
I don’t get it. Are they that ignorant?
Tech worker? Seriously? Kristen is a manager at Amex. Maybe she’s managing tech workers but learn the difference between workers and management. Unbelievable.
