CBID Endorsement Results for 2013

Endorsement results for Brooklyn and City-Wide races in 2013

The page below will be updated as more endorsements are made.

CBID traditionally makes political endorsements when possible, in advance of the petitioning calendar in the hopes that we can be of assistance in gathering signatures for our candidates. We use a runoff voting system, by which our members can rank their preferred candidates.

After a public presentation and an open ended question/answer session from each of the candidates individually, the room is cleared of all non-members and we discuss the merits of all the candidates, with all members allotted time on the floor to make their case. All members present and in good standing are eligible to vote.

Public Advocate QA and Vote

At our April meeting CBID will host the four Democratic candidates for Public Advocate.

Each candidate will be given time to present their vision of the office. A public question and answer period will follow.  As always, all are welcome and encouraged to join us.  At the end of the evening, the club will vote have an endorsement vote.

This is an open seat, as the current office holder, Bill de Blasio, is running for mayor.

The Democratic candidates for public advocate are:

Cathy Guerriero, NYC Public Advocate Candidate 2013

Letitia James NYC Public Advocate Candidate 2013

Dan Squadron, NYC Public Advocate Candidate 2013

The Public Advocate is technically a non-voting member of the city council, and the position maintains the ability to propose an co-sponsor legislation.  The primary role of the office, however, is as a city-wide ombudsman.  This includes providing oversite of city agencies and services, and serving as an advocate for citizens and organizations in the review and resolution of issues and complaints with city agencies and offices.
