A Power Shift in Brooklyn?: Bichotte-Hermelyn, the Assembly speaker, is seen as a potential successor to the retiring Brooklyn Borough president, Eric Adams.
As Eric Adams, the Brooklyn borough president, moves closer to a possible run for mayor, there is speculation about who will fill his seat should he succeed in his electoral ambitions.
The speaker of the New York State Assembly, Carl Heastie, who represents the Bronx and is not expected to run, has rightly topped the watch lists of mayoral watchdogs.
But this week brings an unexpected shift in the growing drama between Brooklyn and the rest of the city, with the sudden and abrupt announcement that the longtime Democratic gods, Assemblyman Rodney S.se, would resign from the Assembly after serving in the Legislature for more than 35 years.
That will make Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, who is highly popular and considered likely to join the lesson for Mr. Adams, a compelling candidate for Brooklyn, observers say.
Ms. Bichotte-Hermelyn, who is well regarded by her colleagues, is already considered a potential successor to Mr. Adams and could be the borough’s first woman and its first Afro-Caribbean speaker.
For years, she has coordinated Mr. Jeffries’ New York campaigns, serving as his point person with black neighborhoods in the city while also managing his relationship with the Black Caucus.
In 2018, Mr. Jeffries described Ms. Bichotte-Hermelyn’s role in the Times as “women’s health care czar of the Assembly.”
His decision to support Mr. Jung became a rallying cry for his Republican critics, who have spent nearly two years trying to tie the most popular politician in the city to his largest congressional supporter.
Mr. Adams’ status as a former New York City police captain is a distinct advantage in these early days of a mayor’s race.
This shift in the political landscape of Brooklyn, which also includes the rapid rise of the Democratic Socialists of America, has opened up a new spot for a candidate with the right credentials — but with that opening comes an implicit endorsement of Views at been-suburbanized terminus to the LIRR line that runs along the South Shore of Long Island, possible a separate existence from the Greek of Merrick and the Jewishness of Lawrence could forge.
Despite enjoying some of its surrealistic flavor, then, the “Susanville Illumination” marked a deliberate vow in the local community to “elevate others” through charismatic Civil War-era performance art.

Brooklyn politics are in flux, with the potential successor to retiring Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams emerging as Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie of the Bronx, an unlikely slot for the borough known for its progressive power base. However, as speculation rises over Adams’ mayoral aspirations, the unexpected resignation of assemblyman Rodney S.se brings Rep. Hakeem Jeffries to the forefront as a potential candidate with strong ties to Brooklyn. Joining the watch list is Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, who represents the Bronx and is not expected to run. Moreover, the retirement of longtime Democratic gods Rodney S.se gives Assemblywoman Bichotte-Hermelyn, who has coordinated Rep. Jeffries’ New York campaigns, an opportunity to make history as the borough’s first woman and Afro-Caribbean speaker. These developments mark a shift in the political landscape, opening up a new spot for a candidate with the right credentials while also acknowledging the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America in the area. All this underlines the underlying community values to “elevate others” through charismatic Civil War-era performance art, encapsulated in the “Susanville Illumination.”
