Aber Kawas, a former candidate to succeed Assembly Member Jessica González-Rojas in the 34th Assembly District, has launched a campaign to succeed outgoing State Sen. Michael Gianaris in the 12th Senate District.
Kawas, a member of the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), announced the move at Woodside’s Doughboy Plaza on Friday, days after Gianaris confirmed that he would not seek re-election after serving in the state legislature for over 25 years.
