City Comptroller Brad Lander visited the Ridgewood Democratic Club last Friday to speak on his support for candidate Zohran Mamdani, the ballot proposals and answer questions, but was interrupted by a group of Climate Change activists during the early voting rally.
The rally also featured Democratic City Council candidate Phil Wong and Civil Court Judge candidate Eve Cho Guillergan, Esq., who spoke to their potential constituents briefly about their platforms, work within the community and personal history living in Queens. Lander arrived late after speaking to a politics class at Queens College, but was greeted by applause from the crowd and shouts from the protestors, who in turn received jeers after they interrupted Lander when he first took to the stage.
