DSA looks to grow their political power in Brooklyn

The high-end clothing retail worker is challenging incumbent Assemblywoman Stefani Zinerman for a second time after losing by a couple hundred votes two years ago.

“We have rising rents, we have childcare that [is] unaffordable and we have real struggles that people are experiencing every day and that’s why I’m doing this," Huntley said.

Zinerman, on the other hand, says Huntley lacks any real experience or connection to the district.

“Some people don’t want to start from the beginning. They want to co-op on the progress that’s been made. I believe that if you want to run for office, you should run for office, but I do think you have to have a resume and have some receipts of having served the people," she said.
