Camara's endorsement comes just hours before
district leaders will
gather to vote on a successor to Lopez, who announced late last month he would not seek another term
as chairman, thanks to the burgeoning sexual harassment scandal that has now enmeshed not only the once - powerful assemblyman, but three top state leaders, too: Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver,
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and Comptroller Tom DiNapoli.
The fallout from the Weinstein scandal continued today,
as protestors
gathered outside Manhattan
District Attorney Cy Vance's office to show their outrage over the way prosecutors handled a case involving the alleged sexual assault of a model in 2015.
