Jamaican-American community advocate seeks to ‘protect democracy’ in Brooklyn

After years of serving the community as a fervent community advocate and mentor, Jamaican-American Anthony Beckford says he has decided to run for the position of Male District Leader, also known as a State Committee Member, so he can “protect democracy” in Brooklyn.

District Leaders are elected, unpaid leaders of the Brooklyn Democratic Party. There is one female and one male District Leader representing each Assembly District.
