Courts have consistently held that the County Dem Party leadership's attempts to cling to power are illegal. It's past time to honor the will of the voters and move forward with @juliopenabk.com as Chair!

Here's the latest: State Supreme Court Blocks Brooklyn Democratic Party from Voting on New Chair www.thecityreporter.nyc/2026/09/29/a...

A State Supreme Court judge has issued a temporary restraining order canceling the Party Chair’s planned meeting of her illegally expanded executive committee tonight. This is yet another legal repudiation of her attempt to overturn the election.

Here's the latest: State Supreme Court Blocks Brooklyn Democratic Party from Voting on New Chair www.thecityreporter.nyc/2026/09/29/a...

We raised $11,000 for @movementvoter.bsky.social! 80 people attended our fundraiser to hear @bradlander.bsky.social and MVP leaders speak about the importance of working toward a progressive future together. Thanks again to cohosts @lidbk.bsky.social, @bkindivisible.bsky.social and Arts4Choice.

The key thing is that the Brooklyn Democratic Party needs to honor the will of the voters. That means the newly elected District Leaders should be the ones selecting the new Party Chair, and that chair should be @juliopenabk.com -- the clear choice of a majority of duly-elected District Leaders!

New: Assemblywoman Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn announced exclusively on “Inside City Hall” that she will not seek reelection as the Brooklyn Democratic Party chair.

Let us be clear: Brooklyn needs a fair vote by the elected District Leaders. The Chair attempting to pick her own successor after she lost an election isn’t democracy, it's cronyism, and the illegal rules changes she has fought to enact would permanently end democratic oversight of our party.

This 100%. Whoever else may or may not decide to run, @juliopenabk.com is the choice of the district leaders elected by voters across Brooklyn and if respecting election results means anything, he should be our next Party Chair. Plus, he's an amazing leader who will be an awesome chair!

New Kings Democrats@newkingsdems.bsky.social · 2d ago

Brooklyn needs a Party Chair that cares about winning elections, and that respects the voters. @juliopenabk.com is the choice of the majority of elected district leaders, and he should have a chance to serve.

See you tonight!

The silver lining of the chaotic and undemocratic behavior we saw from Brooklyn Democratic Party leadership today is that it makes it clearer than ever that we need change. LID will keep on working every day to build a transparent and effective party worthy of our borough.

This week, BK Dems votes on a new chair to represent the 1M+ Dems in Brooklyn. The choice is clear. Respect the June election and elect @juliopenabk.com , or keep a party that runs a patronage mill while sitting on the sideline for general elections. #BrooklynCantWait

With only 7 weeks until the midterms, Dems need a Brooklyn party that knocks on doors and wins races, not one that is preoccupied with fighting its own voters. Join us tomorrow morning before the County Committee meeting to call for an end to this ongoing misuse of party funds.

What's one reason the BK Dems Party Chair may be so desperate to cling on to power? New reporting hints at how she and other insiders orchestrate and benefit from the party's current judicial nomination process. 1/🧵

When Democrats attempt to triangulate on trans rights, it's my sense that many liberals and people in politics don't understand why many trans people are so upset. I wrote about the differences between then and now, what trans people have lost, and what we still stand to lose
