The hotly contested election for Brooklyn surrogate judge reulted in a recount that has determined that Margharita Lopez-Torres, the reform candidate, has won. But the corrupt Brooklyn political machine is still trying to challenge her victory in court. Tomorrow, Monday September 26, 2005 at 1:00pm on the steps of City Hall, political leaders will speak on behalf of Judge Margarita Lopez-Torres. Her victory is based on voting tallies released by the New York City Board of Elections at a press conference on the steps of City Hall but legal challenges by the Norman machine are preventing the victory from being made official. Congressmembers Nydia Velazquez, Major Owens, and Ed Towns, along with Assemblymembers Darryl Towns and Rhoda Jacobs, Councilmembers Yvette Clarke and David Yassky, District Leaders Alan Fleishman, Jacob Gold, Jo Anne Simon, and Ralph Perfetto, will urge that the legal challenges to her election be withdrawn and that she be certified at once as the Democratic Party's nominee.

Come show your support for reform politics in Brooklyn.
