Brooklyn Borough President has a minor role in capital spending and makes appointments to Community Boards. Beyond that, its largely cheerleading and promotion of the Borough. None of the policy goals Bernie cares about will be achieved through the BP.

That is your personal views

His endorsement of the Brooklyn Borough President could be as simple as a friendship endorsement
