STATE ASSEMBLY - DISTRICT 74
Precincts Reported: 110 of 110
Brian P. Kavanagh(D) - winner 5055 (43%)
Sylvia M. Friedman(D) 4681 (40%)
Esther Yang(D) 986 (8%)
Juan Pagan(D) 794 (6%)

Geezus effing cripes! Less than 13,000 people decided this race? That's effed up. There's 25,000 people in Stuy-Town/Peter Cooper alone!

What is most depressing to me was the fact that the other two candidates were so sorely underfunded that I had not heard of them until yesterday.

Which begs the question : Why are the Latino and the Asian candidates so underfunded?

No offense to Kavanagh. Nice guy. But I would have loved to hear from Ms. Yang and Mr. Pagan. Given that Loisaida is such a colored district (albeit of the the lighter melanin kind); it sucks I still have to state the obvious.
