Earlier this year, I supported the re-election of Brooklyn District Attorney Charles “Joe” Hynes, who I have known for many years. On Sept. 10, the voters of Brooklyn spoke loud and clear; they decided that it was time for change, and by a decisive margin, they elected Ken Thompson to be the Democratic nominee. Thompson’s outstanding qualifications as an attorney, his compelling personal story and his campaign message of bringing a fresh approach to the job resonated with voters across the borough.
