I am honored to be here today with my good friends from the Russian-speaking community. I thank you for your hospitality in inviting me here today and of course for your tremendous support, said Councilman Fidler. Today is about protecting our communities. Its about ensuring that the people who represent us actually speak for us and that starts with saving social programs like senior centers and Section 8 housing vouchers. I know this community and I know what it needs. And I look forward to the honor of fighting for it in Albany. In addition to pledging their staunch support for Councilman Fidler in the March 20th Special Election, community members advocated for fairly-drawn district lines to keep the Russian community intact. Lew Fidler has a proven record of being a hard working elected official, said Gregory Davidzon (Gregory Davidzon Media). He is a huge supporter of the Russian-speaking communitys fight to stop the process of killing the Russian community as a united block. Councilman Fidler has been critical of the NY State Legislative Task Force on Demographic Research and Reapportionment (LATFOR) which released proposed legislative district lines for the next 10 years (which would take effect for the November 2012 election). Other elected officials and prominent Russian-speaking Brooklynites spoke about the Councilmans record and commitment to the community as a public servant. Assemblymember Alec Brook-Krasny (D-Brooklyn) said, "I am happy to stand in support of Councilman Fidlers campaign for State Senate today for many reasons. He has always been a great friend in government with a long and extensive resume of effectiveness. He will be a great partner in Albany and I look forward to working with him at the state level." Former Assembly candidate Ari Kagan said, I strongly support Councilman Lew Fidler for State Senate. He would be the strong voice in Albany for South Brooklyn and for the Russian speaking community because he knows our needs and knows how to fight for the interests of his constituents. His record of achievements speaks for itself. Lew Fidler is a proven defender of immigrants and tenants, small business owners and seniors. He serves people with dignity and competence. I am proud to support Lew Fidler and believe he would be a great State Senator from Brooklyn that we really need today.
