Just last year, in the 2021 election cycle, candidate Alec Brook-Krasny said that he considered himself lucky to have been in a position to have had his day in court on a raft of crimnal charges, which had been brought against him --- because he said that he "had the money" to pay a great team of lawyers.....
But here's the rest of the story
--- Brook-Krasny also has said that countless other defendants would never get the chance to properly defend themselves, because >>> ".... Without access to top lawyers, without resources, without a support system, anyone can fall through the cracks....
[I will fight for] those people, the overlooked, ignored, forgotten....
[I will fight to] ensure that our justice system provides the necessary tools to help people not [to need the luck that I had]....
[I will fight for] laws like the expanded right to counsel, discovery reform, and increased funding for alternatives to incarceration....
[I will fight for] all positive steps towards a justice system that is equal and bent toward compassion for all it serves....”
Alec Brook-Krasny is running for office again in 2022 --- however, this time he's running as a Republican.....
It's been reported that >>> Alec Brook-Krasny, a former Democratic Member of the NYS Assembly from Brooklyn, switched his party designation to Republican, and he is planning to make a run for his old assembly seat, which is largely in Brooklyn's red-trending southern neighborhoods. As part of all that, he now says that he is fed up with his old Democratic Party's swing towards that party's leftish “progressive” wing --- with it's soft-on-crime policies.
In spite of his recents stands, like the ones shown in the sub-headlines above, Alec Brook-Krasny is now saying stuff like this:
“I can’t believe everything that’s going on in the Democratic Party, all the calls to ‘defund the police,’ the cancel culture.... It goes against my character and my nature.... I think this is just the beginning. I think we will see a trend. I’ve tried for a long time, but I don’t think I can change the Democratic Party from the inside out, so it’s time to work from the outside....”
