Today on Breakfast-of-Candidates: Brad Lander

Today, it's Brad Lander's turn on Breakfast-of-Candidates, OTBKB's interview/profile series about the candidates for the City Council in the 39th and 33rd District.

Brad is the intellectual of the group with two master's degrees and a BA from the University of Chicago. He's made his mark running community organizations like the Fifth Avenue Committee and Pratt Center for Community Development, advocating for affordable housing and community sustainablility.

Tomorrow read Craig Hammerman's Breakfast of Candidates. For 19 years he's been the District Manager of Community Board 6. A third-generation Broolynite, Craig is the nuts and bolts guy who knows how it works day in and day out working for the citizens of this community. 

And in case you missed it:

Breakfast-of-Candidates: Gary Reilly. At 34 he's not quite the youngest of the candidates (John Heyer beats him on that score) but he's plenty wet behind the ears and full of enthusiasm for what he's set out to do.

Breakfast-of-Candidates: Bob Zuckerman. A long-time politico, Bob is currently executive director of the Gowanus Canal Community Development Corporation and  Gowanus Canal Conservancy.  He remembers the night Richard Nixon was elected in  1968 (he was 7-years-old) and one of his heroes is Harvey Milk.
