The caucus includes some of the most prominent women in city politics — including the council’s majority leader Laurie Cumbo (D-Brooklyn) — and is co-chaired by two Manhattan councilwomen, Carlina Rivera and Margaret Chin.
“As the saying goes, ‘If you wanna get something done, ask a woman to do it,’” said Council Member Laurie Cumbo, who is co-chair of the Council’s Women’s Caucus and whose chief of staff is a woman, in a phone interview from a restaurant.
New York Congressional Representative Hakeem Jeffries, a Democrat who represents parts of Brooklyn and Queens, has endorsed City Council Member Laurie Cumbo for reelection.
Cumbo, however, now had advantages of incumbency: name recognition, more institutional support, easier access to donors.
In the August 10 report, Politico New York’s Sally Goldenberg, citing more than a dozen sources, detailed efforts by de Blasio’s close associates to bolster Cumbo, who is facing a tough primary challenge from Ede Fox.
Some, like Fox, believe Cumbo will back the current project plan as soon as the election is over.
