The Brooklyn Democratic Party has reversed course and is backing Gov. Kathy Hochuls reelection bid again, days after withdrawing its support over concerns about her selection of former New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams as her running mate.
A spokesperson for state Assemblymember Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, chair of the Brooklyn Democratic Party, told NY1 Friday that the re-endorsement came after having really productive conversations with the governor and her team.
In a statement, the party said its executive committee was prepared to move forward in unity and support Governor Hochul in our shared efforts to win back the House and ensure Democratic leadership remains strong across New York.
We expressed our concerns, and while continued discussions are necessary to build and strengthen relationships, we understand that the only path forward is together, the statement said. Today we head into the state convention as proud Democrats committed to strengthening our Party.
