Citizens Union today announced its support for the election of Diana Johnson for Brooklyn Surrogate in the one of the few competitive local races in tomorrow’s Democratic Party primary election.
In its evaluation of the two candidates, Citizens Union felt both candidates were qualified to serve, but was concerned with each candidate’s political ties to different elements of the Brooklyn party. On balance, the organization felt that Judge Johnson’s greater experience as a jurist gave her the edge.
