Gina and Tony Argento donated $80k to the Brooklyn Dems & Party Boss Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn—the latter praising the Argentos & their plan.
Yet the Argentos lost County Committee, Assembly & District Leader elections to local groups, like Rep Your Block. People power wins!

Reading this quote in a 1972 New York Times article on the eve of the 2024 County Committee Organizational Meeting, where we will once again be advocating for proxy reform and changes to the judicial selection process, is a good reminder that this has been a long fight!

The fact that lawsuits were filed against County Committee candidates – everyday Brooklyn Democrats who just want to get involved at the ground floor of their party – is truly beyond the pale. 🤬
🚨The Brooklyn Democratic Party has taken the unprecedented step of suing District Leader & County Committee candidates, many of whom ran on volunteer campaigns. We need your support to provide legal aid against this abuse of power: https://t.co/umlDYHO7ji
