In this episode of Strong Reception, I talk to Brooklyn activist, carpenter and entrepreneur Sandy Nurse, who recently ran to fill the empty seat in New York's 37th City Council District during the height of New York's COVID-19 crisis.
Nurse's campaign was just starting to gather momentum — even collecting some high-powered endorsements from folks like AOC — when the race was abruptly jettisoned amid petition challenges and some questionable executive decisions. We discussed what happened during this race, and how the actions of a powerful few left an underserved Brooklyn community without representation during an acute crisis.
For a complete blow-by-blow of what happened in this race, please read my article at Voting in the Dark: "How a New York City Council District was Handed an Unelected Leader."
