Fliedner
ran in the 2017 Brooklyn Democratic primary as a member of the Democratic Socialists of America
on a platform of
criminal justice reform, an end to broken windows policing, and the shutdown of Rikers Island, issues shared more or less by his five competitors.
I am
running for Democratic District Leader for the 44th Assembly District to fight for a Democratic Party with a progressive agenda centered
on economic
justice,
criminal justice reform and support for women, the LGBTQ community, immigrants and religious and racial minorities.
