Councilwoman Susan Zhuang's $25,000 payment to the PR firm Actum, following allegations of assault against a police officer, underscores her struggle to manage her political image post-incident.
Jerry Goldfeder, Zhuang's campaign attorney, vaguely described Actum’s role as public relations assistance, emphasizing the necessity for Zhuang to navigate the fallout from her controversial actions.
Despite her legal troubles and mounting criticism, Zhuang found limited support for her defense fund, which received no donations, reflecting diminished confidence among her constituents and peers.
Political peers expressed skepticism about Zhuang’s attempts at image rehabilitation, suggesting that genuine accountability and donations to community causes would be a more effective approach than hiring high-priced consultants.
