If it didn't already, the open senate seat in Carl Andrews' district now has a clear frontrunner.

Eric Adams, the co-founder of 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care, just picked up the support of 1199.

Adams, who has flirted with running for public office in the past, already has the backing of the Brooklyn party organization and has (I believe) the most money on hand of any of the candidates.
