While State Sen. Simcha Felder of the 17th senatorial district was delaying budget talks in Albany, Brooklyn resident, Democratic candidate Blake Morris (@BlakeMorris4NYS) was launching his own campaign to unseat the incumbent who governs Borough Park, Midwood, Kensington, Sunset Park and parts of Bensonhurst.

The candidate’s rolling launch began on March 19, when he registered with the New York State’s Board of Elections. Since then, Morris made his initial announcement on Facebook and gradually changed his social media presence to reflect his candidacy.

As a long time resident of Brooklyn, and 6th generation New Yorker, Morris prefers to say the district chose him –– poking fun at the area’s redistricting inconsistencies. The 56-year-old has served as an attorney for three decades and is married with one child.

Felder is a disgrace, as are all the IDC turncoats who have now rejoined the Democratic fold to save their seats.

Blake could also use more followers on Twitter, for those of us who use it (he's @BlakeMorris4NYS)
