If that doesn’t sound too sketchy yet, keep in mind that this lobbyist is associated with Sheldon Silver, the former NY State Assembly Speaker who has been convicted of numerous counts of corruption. Crowley’s no stranger to playing dirty. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/11/nyregion/sheldon-silver-retrial-guilty.html …pic.twitter.com/Gl1XyvDK9y

But what were the results of that redistricting? As it turns out, as his district was redistricted from NY-7 to NY-14, his constituency became almost 5% whiter, which is a demographic that he’s made clear is his primary focus. https://twitter.com/aptaube/status/1011249599821111301 …http://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/03/20/nyregion/new-york-redistricting.html?ref=nyregion …
