A Caribbean American community activist Tuesday night resoundingly won a seat vacated by a Caribbean American legislator in the 43rd Assembly District in Brooklyn.
Brian Cunningham, the son of a Jamaican immigrant, handsomely beat two other contenders for the 43rd Assembly District seat that became vacant when the representative, former New York State Assembly Member Diana C. Richardson, the daughter of Aruban and St. Martin immigrants, was appointed Deputy Brooklyn Borough President in January.
