Crown Heights Assemblywoman To Be the Next Deputy Brooklyn Borough President

by CrownHeights.info

Diana C. Richardson, the veteran Assemblywoman for the 43rd District which includes Crown Heights, has been tapped to be the next Brooklyn Deputy Borough President.

“I write this letter to you today with bittersweet news that I want you to hear from me directly,” Richardson wrote in an email to her constituents. “After six years serving as your Assemblywoman, I will be leaving this role to serve you in a different way; as Brooklyn’s next Deputy Borough President.”

The official announcement was made by Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynos on Monday.

To take Richardson’s place, a special election will take place in the coming months, providing the Jewish community with yet another chance to make their mark on the local political scene.
