City Hall news released it's 6th annual 40 under 40 list. At least two political players in the Heimish community are on it. Rachel Goodman, the talented Chief of Staff to Councilman Brad Lander, and Lincoln Restler, who won his District Leader race thanks to the Aronim support in Williamsburg, against a Vito Lopez-Zali candidate.
In 2008, State Senator Daniel Squadron - fresh from his win in the Dem primaries in Williamsburg and Manhattan with Aronim support - made the list. Councilman Steve Levin topped the list a year thereafter, also fresh from winning a primary in Williamsburg, but with Zali support, defeating Hasidic candidate Issac Abraham. Also that year, now elected Assemblyman Phillip Goldfeder made the list, as a Schumer staffer.
But some on prior years' lists saw their fortunes change since than. For example Stefanie Fedak, a 25 year risee on last year's list, than Chief of Staff to Councilman David Greenfield, recently had a somewhat public fallout with the councilman. She still have 4 years to be a "Matzav Maker," but I doubt anyone in Texas will know what that means.
Mazel Tov to the risees, and hope Orthodox Pundit makes it next year.
Sporadic blogging - depending on time availability - of mostly political news of interest to the Jewish Orthodox Community in Brooklyn, particularly Williamsburgh, written by a Brooklyn Yungerman, immersed in Local politics, with a lot of inside stuff. Instead of checking the blog when something comes up, follow me on Twitter @opundit It’s time for some transparency on the political happenings in the Heimishe community!
