"In a statement issued just before the state Democratic party's nominating convention, the Brooklyn Dems said they were "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 pathway forward is together," the statement reads. "Today we head into the state convention as proud Democrats committed to strengthening our Party.""
"At her first public appearance with Adams on Thursday, Hochul said she "looks forward to continuing to work with the many allies and supporters we have in Brooklyn." "We'll move through this," she said. "People do what they do for their own reasons. I only focus on what's good for the state of New York, and what's good for the state of New York is having Adrienne Adams by my side.""
The Brooklyn Democratic Party re-endorsed Gov. Kathy Hochul less than 48 hours after withdrawing support. The organization issued a statement committing to unity and to supporting Hochul's efforts to win back the House and maintain Democratic leadership across New York. Hochul won the state Democratic party's gubernatorial nomination at the state convention. The conflict began after Hochul selected Adrienne Adams as lieutenant governor, prompting Brooklyn leaders to withdraw their endorsement, citing a failure to engage or consult local Democratic leaders. Hochul said she looks forward to working with Brooklyn allies and affirmed Adams as her running mate.
