Briefly

Two Brooklyn legislators got in a tussle. Now they're running against each other.
"Monique likes attention. And I don't like that. I'm a grown-up person. This behavior is for a 5-year-old. ... I don't want to give air to it."
"Narcisse is likely to support Bichotte Hermelyn for reelection as leader of the Brooklyn Dems, while Chandler-Waterman would not."
Assembly Member Monique Chandler-Waterman and NYC Council Member Mercedes Narcisse engaged in a physical altercation at Caucus Weekend over ballot access. The conflict arose when Chandler-Waterman attempted to bar Narcisse from her Caribbean reception. Narcisse, a current Democratic district leader, is facing Chandler-Waterman in the upcoming primary. Accusations of petition fraud were made against Chandler-Waterman, but a judge ruled in her favor. The outcome of this race could impact the leadership dynamics within Brooklyn's Democratic Party.
