Today Breakfast of Candidates takes a breather while I catch up on the writing. I scheduled breakfast with Josh Skaller and am waiting to hear from John Heyer. And I'm ready to make plans with  the candidates in the 33rd District although I've already met with Jo Anne Simon.

Next up:  read all about Green Candidate David Pechefsky, who worked for 10 years as central staff for  the New York City Council. With a master's degree in public policy and experience advising local governments in Africa, David knows how the City Council works from the inside out and has ideas about how it could better serve the people of New York City.

And in case you missed these:

Breakfast-of-Candidates: Gary Reilly. 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 about public transportation and other issues that affect voters.

Breakfast-of-Candidates: Bob Zuckerman. A long-time politico, Bob is currently
executive director of the Gowanus Canal Community Development
Corporation and  Gowanus Canal Conservancy.  He remembers the night
Richard Nixon was elected in 1968 (he was 7-years-old) and one of his
heroes is Harvey Milk.

Breakfast-of-Candidates: Brad Lander, The intellectual of the group, Brad has two master's degrees and
a BA from the University of Chicago. He's made his mark running
community organizations like the Fifth Avenue Committee and Pratt
Center for Community Development, advocating for affordable housing and community sustainablility.

Breakfast-of-Candidates: Craig Hammerman. As District Manager of Community Board 6, Craig is the nuts and bolts guy. He's the candidate, who understands infrastructure and really knows what its like to serve the public day in and day out for 19 years.
