The Brooklyn Democratic Party last Tuesday voted for lawyer Edward “Ed” King as the “backfill pick” for the Brooklyn Civil Court seat left vacant by Judge Craig S. Walker.
Judge Walker was nominated this month for Justice of New York State Supreme Court in an historic Party Nomination Convention.
“Edward King is a groundbreaking and well-deserved addition to Brooklyn’s judicial system,” Brooklyn Democratic Party Chair, Assemblywoman Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn told Caribbean Life.
“As a Black military veteran who has devoted his life to fighting injustice and delivering judicial equity as an attorney, I am confident that King will be an excellent replacement for now-NYS Supreme Court nominee Craig S. Walker,” added Bichotte Hermelyn, the daughter of Haitian immigrants, who represents the 42nd Assembly District in Brooklyn.
