Politico reports, “Lentol gets first primary challenge in a decade<\/a>“:<\/p>\n

“Activist and community board member Emily Gallagher<\/a> will launch a campaign against Assemblyman Joe Lentol<\/a> on Monday, giving the Brooklyn Democrat his first primary challenge in a decade … As the longtime chairman of the powerful Codes Committee<\/a>, he\u2019s often praised by liberal lawmakers for his work on issues like raising the age of criminal responsibility …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not to mention gun control.<\/p>\n

Democrats outnumber Republicans in the district better than 10 to 1 so he is totally safe in the general election.\u00a0 The only way to knock Lentol out is in a Democrat primary where turnout will be low, maybe 10-15%.<\/p>\n

Gallagher’s position on 2A is irrelevant: When in doubt throw the incumbent out.\u00a0 NRA<\/a> has members in the district and there is no reason they cannot participate in this process.<\/p>\n
