Harlem Dem Inez Dickens in bid to topple socialist Kristin Richardson JordanBy Carl Campanile
January 9, 2023
Assemblywoman Inez Dickens has had it with a soft-on-crime, tough-on-cops politician in her Harlem district — and is willing to give up her Albany post if she can oust the councilwoman, who has likened the NYPD to a white supremacist “gang.”
Dickens this week will announce a bid against hard-left Democratic socialist Councilwoman Kristin Richardson Jordan in the June Democratic primary election.
Dickens, 73, who is a former councilwoman, is a centrist Democrat who supports tightening the state’s controversial cashless bail law. She presents a clear contrast with Richardson Jordan, 36, who has called the NYPD “the biggest gang in New York City” and a “white supremacist institution.”
The primary will be held on June 27.
