Mayor of Russian NYC Makes His Move . . . Will He Become the Next County Leader of Brooklyn?
Gregory Davidzon, owner of the Russian radio station WSNR in Brooklyn, N.Y has become the guy to win over if you want support in the Russian Community. Ask John Liu, David Greenfield or even badly failed controller candidate Richard Brodsky, who won only 4 Assembly District in the state. Three of them were in the heavy Russian district in Brooklyn because of an endorsement by Davidzon. * 6 points separate Weprin and Turner to take Weiner's seat SHOCK: With five weeks until Election Day, Dem is clinging to narrow lead over his GOP rival.(NYDN) * Weprin Goes On The Attack(NYO) * Weprin Rolls Out Endorsements From Asian Electeds
Perhaps his biggest upset win was for Councilman David Greenfield. The Russian Mayor was responsible for pulling out over 2000 Russian voters for the councilman. Davidzon even relocated his radio station on election day to broadcast outside the polling site where a majority of the Russians voted. He was also a key play in the election of the first Russian Assemblyman Alex Brook-Krasney and helped deliver the vote to the mayor in 2009. In 2010 one of the reasons Turner got 42% of the vote against an incumbent congressman was Davidizon. While Vito Lopez and most of today's pols are limited to staged media events to pretend to pull out votes, Davisizon can deliver thousands of votes like an old time Tammany Hall Leader. The citywide candidates could do more for their election chances if they got Davidzon endorsement not spend there time kissing the ass of the smoke and mirrors Thomas Jefferson Club which according to the latest poll is losing it home base badly to Turner. The club has been weaken by a changing neighborhood and the loss of powerhouse leaders like Meade Esposito and Stanly Fink. It endorsed candidate Weprin is the latest clue to clueless mayor candidate that the club has lost is juice to deliver.
