Inez Barron, Wife Of Councilman Charles Barron For New York State Assembly Of The 40th Assembly District In Brooklyn

 

Building on the success of her husband, City Councilmember Charles Barron, during whose term parks were renovated, new affordable housing, was made available, and workforce development was brought into the district, Inez Barron announced her candidacy. This decision to continue the legacy of success and run for the NYS Assembly seat (40th AD) in the upcoming primary in September, 2008, was arrived at through deliberation and wide community support.

The 40th Assembly District covers the communities of East New York, Brownsville and Canarsie. Attending the Press Conference to formally endorse Mrs. Barron will be Rev. Dr. Herbert Daughtry, Rev. Al Sharpton, Dr. James McIntosh, Attorney Alton Maddox, City Councilmember Charles Barron, Viola Plummer, Brenda Stokely, Alice Lowman, President of Spring Creek Tenant Association, Marq Claxton of 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement and a host of other community activists and organizations.

“Inez Barron is no stranger to the community,” said Paul Washington, Campaign Manager for Mrs. Barron. “She is a leader, an innovator and a retired principal of a Bedford Stuyvesant public school. She worked for over thirty-seven years with the NYC Department of Education, and was once the Executive Assistant to the Superintendent of the Brownsville School Board. She was a teacher in the classroom for many years. Inez is truly an educational activist,” he concluded. “As a long time resident and community activist in East New York, I embark upon this quest with certainty and conviction that I can and will provide the necessary vision and leadership to empower the communities of the 40th Assembly District,” said Mrs. Barron.

Mrs. Barron is Co-Chair of the organization Operation P.O.W.E.R., a grassroots political organization. She is also a member and serves on the Trustee Board of the House of Lord Church in Brooklyn, where the Rev. Dr. Herbert Daughtry is the Pastor.
