Crystal Hudson, a community organizer and former member of Community Board 8, is running to succeed Laurie Cumbo as the representative of District 35 in the New York City Council in the upcoming elections on June 22.
District 35 includes the neighborhoods of Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Crown Heights, Prospect Heights and Bedford Stuyvesant. Early voting is open from June 12 through June 20.
Hudson is facing Michael Hollingsworth, the candidate endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) which is aligned with the BDS movement and is virulently anti-Israel.
In a humorous clip, comedian Mendy Pellin called Hudson while she was eating at Mermelstein’s Takeout on Kingston Avenue to discuss 2 issues that he deemed important for the Jewish community in Crown Heights.

Very cute.
Angled parking on President Street is a great idea!
If I could, I’d vote for her. I hope you all will do so in my place, if only for angled parking (& no more alternate side!!!)
