Josh Skaller, candidate for City Council in the 39th was endorsed by Howard Dean, former governor of Vermont, 2004 presidential candidate, former Chairman of the Democratic National Committee and now a consultant with Democracy for America, a grassroots Democratic organization run by his brother.

A press conference will take place at the campaign office of the Central Brooklyn Independent Democrats (CBID), 548 10th Street (between 7th & 8th Avenue) in Park Slope, Brooklyn at 9 am. Dr. Dean will then join Josh Skaller at a nearby subway station to greet residents of the neighborhood.
