In an interview with The Brooklyn Paper, Rep. Ed Towns’s challenger Kevin Powell hyped his knowledge of the neighborhoods and said his self-acknowledged history of violence should not be held against him.
While Towns bought up Powell’s thin background as a negative, Powell saw Towns’s criticism as something else.
Powell said that black leaders in Towns’s generation have sought to supress the next generation of young black leaders. He also slammed Towns for endorsing Rudy Giuliani for mayor.
Congressional hopeful Kevin Powell came to our DUMBO offices to seek our editorial endorsement in the Sept. 9 primary against Rep. Ed Towns.
