Press Release: Batson and Barron
Congressional Candidate Charles Barron and NY State Assembly Candidate Bill Batson Cross-Endorse
New York, August 27, 2006 – Today on the steps of City Hall, Council Member Charles Barron, running for the seat in the 10th Congressional District endorsed Bill Batson’s run for the open seat in the 57th NY State Assembly District.
“Mr. Batson is the only independent, real, progressive voice in this race for the Assembly; everyone else is part of the Brooklyn Democratic Machine,” Councilmember Baron said. “We need new leadership in this community,” Barron continued, “and that is why I enthusiastically endorse Bill Batson.”
Both Barron and Batson are running grassroots Brooklyn campaigns fueled by small donors. They are both independent thinkers with long histories of organizing and activism in Brooklyn.
“Charles Barron has been a long-time activist in this city; a man with great integrity who fights every day for his community,” Batson stated. “There is no one I see who is more qualified, more capable of serving the 10th Congressional District than Charles Barron, and I am proud to endorse him for the seat.”
