DISTRICT 22 — Alonzo T. Washington (D)
Washington is capable but cautious. He waited for Pensky to vacate rather than challenge him directly, even though he likely would’ve won. That hesitation speaks volumes. If Washington had more ambition, he’d be running for County Executive right now. Aisha Braveboy’s administration is flailing—corruption, pay-to-play schemes, and general chaos. The county’s a mess. But Washington doesn’t seem ready to step up. He’s got the talent, but not the fire.
