Today I am rolling out the first of my Breakfast-of-Candidates interview/profiles. That's right, it's candidate Gary Reilly's turn to go under the microscope at breakfast with OTBKB. At 34 he's not quite the youngest of the candidates (John Heyer beats him on that score) but he's plenty wet behind the ears and full of enthusiasm for what he's set out to do.

So far I've had breakfast with Brad Lander, Bob Zuckerman, Gary Reilly, and Craig Hammerman all democratic candidates for City Council in the 39th District.  I haven't met with Josh Skaller or John Heyer yet. Stephen Di Brienza has not declared his candidacy.

I will be meeting with Jonathan Pechefsky, the Green Party candidate next week.

The 39th District covers much of Park Slope, Windsor Terrace, Kensington, Gowanus, and Carroll Gardens.

Some of Park Slope is in the 33rd District, which also includes Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO, the Navy Yard, Williamsburg and Greenpoint.

Today I met with Jo Anne Simon, who is one of the front runners for City Council in that District. That is a very contentious race and one that I will also be following.
