We're honored to receive the endorsement of the NY Daily News. Here's what they had to say:
"The 28th District includes parts of Jamaica, Richmond Hill and South Ozone Park. The two best candidates looking to replace Ruben Wills — who, having been convicted of stealing public funds in July, is in jail — are Adrienne Adams and Richard David. Philosophically, both would be standard-issue members of the Council.
Adams loses our nod because she lacked the courage to challenge Wills when he was indicted and on trial. When he finally got convicted, she, with the county organization’s help, slid onto the ballot without getting a single signature on a single petition. She also loses points for strident opposition to all school co-locations — a position that, if acted upon, would throw thousands of city schools, district and charter alike, into turmoil.
David promises a “clean break from the past” of corruption, and is better poised to deliver. He brings nuts-and-bolts knowledge of city government, having served more than a decade in Mike Bloomberg’s Economic Development Corporation, and more recently in other agencies.
He wants to reignite Jamaica’s central business district, makes a priority of ethics reforms and resists the urge to see every problem under the city’s sun as necessitating more spending.
Vote Richard David."
