While I was away…

Josh Skaller, candidate for City Council in the 39th was endorsed by Howard Dean, former governor of Vermont, 2004 presidential candidate, former Chairman of the Democratic National Committee and now a consultant with Democracy for America, a grassroots Democratic organization run by his brother.

A
press conference will take place at the campaign office of the Central
Brooklyn Independent Democrats (CBID), 548 10th Street (between 7th
& 8th Avenue) in Park Slope, Brooklyn at 9 am. Dr. Dean will then join

neighborhood.
