Councilman Charles Barron Running For Public Advocate?


   
    The blog Politicker has a story about term limited Brooklyn City Councilman Charles Barron and his possible bid for the citywide office of Public Advocate. Barron gained some more exposure in his loosing Democratic primary bid to Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries to replace Brooklyn Congressman Ed Towns, now is said to be eying the office of Public Advocate. In 2009 Barron had said he wanted to run for Mayor, but with the term limit law overturned then he could not run for both mayor and his city council seat.
     It is expected that current Public Advocate Bill de Blasio will run for mayor in 2013 and Politicker says Brooklyn State Senator Dan Squadron and Councilwoman Letisha James lead the field for Public Advocate. Politicker also mentions former congressional candidate Reshma Saujani, education advocate Noah Gotbaum. teacher Catherine Guerriero, without mention of any other candidates.
     Politicker also mentions that Assemblywoman Inez Barron may run for her husbands city council seat, thus leaving Charles Barron another option should he loose in the 2013 Public Advocate race. That being running for his wife's vacant State Assembly seat should she be elected to the city council. To read much more visit the article from politicker here.
