Embattled City Council Member Kristin Richardson Jordan is dropping her re-election bid in a crowded race for her Central Harlem seat, she announced in an Instagram post Tuesday morning.
“Dear supporters and volunteers, thank you for seeing the true possibility for racial love in the loveless land of politics — it is not easy to do,” Richardson Jordan wrote. “Unfortunately, I’m writing this to inform you that I have decided not to seek re-election and not to commit to another two years.”
