Embattled Harlem socialist Councilwoman Kristin R. Jordan not seeking re-election

Embattled left-wing democratic socialist Harlem Councilwoman Kristin R. Jordan announced Tuesday she’s not seeking re-election — a stunning development just weeks before the June 27 primary election.

“Unfortunately I am writing this to inform you that I have decided not to seek re-election and not to commit to another 2 years,” Jordan said in a June 27 Instagram post.

“I want to thank all those who stood in solidarity and all volunteers for your time and hard work.”

Political insiders said Jordan saw the “writing on the wall” and realized she was going to lose her Democratic primary election against rivals who include Assembly members Inez Dickens and Al Taylor as well as Yusef Salaam, who was exonerated in the infamous Central Park Five rape case.

Jordan’s liabilities included her attendance and voting record. The Post recently reported she missed nearly half of her Council committee meetings.

Meh.  The only difference between her and most other libs/progs is that she is at least honest about her socialism; the rest aren't honest, but are mostly just as socialist.

This is absolutely astounding.

One of the greatest lies ever foisted upon New Yorkers was the proclaimed "innocence" of that teen mob. They were guilty as the night is dark.

And now one of them is running for a city council seat?
