Handpicked Legislators
May 1st, 2009
Bronx County Democratic leader Carl Heastie has announced the party will reveal its candidates for two vacant state Assembly seats at the Bronx Museum tomorrow at 12:45, following meetings of the county committee. A vacancy occurred in the 85th Assembly district when Bronx voters elected Ruben Diaz Jr. Bronx borough president last month. Diaz named Aurelia Greene as his deputy creating an opening in the 77th Assembly district.
The elections to fill the vacancies are set for June 2. But given the lopsided Democratic edge in these neighborhoods, whomever the party announces as its choice tomorrow is all but guaranteed a ticket to Albany.
