The head of Brooklyn’s Democratic Party, Assembly Member Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, announced on Sunday that she is endorsing former Gov. Andrew Cuomo for mayor of New York City.

Bichotte Hermelyn, who is the state Assembly majority whip, touted Cuomo’s extensive experience as both NYS governor and attorney general as key factors in his ability to lead the city.

“Andrew Cuomo has steadfastly served as an exemplary public servant for the betterment of our city and state for decades, starting right here in Brooklyn, where he began as a community advocate,” Bichotte Hermelyn said in a statement. “Cuomo never forgot his roots, or the importance of fighting for equality and opportunity, as he served as Attorney General of New York starting in 2006, then as our governor for 11 years.”

The endorsement struck a critical blow to Mayor Eric Adams’ re-election hopes, as Bichotte Hermelyn had previously supported him four years ago — and had stood by him even following his criminal indictment last year.

1. So she backed Adams even after his indictments

and now is backing Cuomo, who is abysmal on unions, treatment of his female staff, and telling the truth.

Her judgement is questionable, at best. And she is Majority Whip in the Assembly. New York politics remains a shifty business.
