Buried inside this recent Courier Life article about Michael Nelson, the Councilman from Brooklyn who spent an unusually high amount of city money on local advertisements, is this interesting factoid:
“Nelson is now a candidate to succeed Marty Markowitz as Brooklyn borough president.”
If that’s true (Nelson’s office didn’t return a call for additional information), that would make three candidates for the seat so far. The other two are Bill de Blasio and Charles Barron.
Anybody else making a stealth announcement?
UPDATE: Nick Perry is in the race.
