Assembly Member Dov Hikind
On the day after David Greenfield's stunning 18-point special election victory over Joe Lazar, leaders in the Hasidic community of Boro Park were already making calls about the elections this November.
But they were not looking for a candidate to run against Greenfield—though he will have to run again for the Council seat he just won.
Instead, these leaders were gauging the interest in running a Hasidic candidate against Assembly Member Dov Hikind, the longtime Orthodox Jewish powerbroker who strongly backed Lazar, according to an individual who has been approached by multiple people about running against Hikind.
“The question everyone is asking today is: Who is running against Dov?” the person said.
