As Brooklyn Democratic party boss Frank Seddio prepares to step down, political honchos elected veteran businessman and former political staffer Carlo Scissura to the largely ceremonial chairmanship of the Kings County Democratic Committee vacated last fall. “I’m excited,” Scissura said. “I love Brooklyn and I love to organize.”
The party’s 42 district leaders voted to appoint Scissura — who was nominated for the position by Seddio — at a closed-door meeting on Wednesday. The role, which was vacated by Joseph Bova last September, comes with the responsibility of chairing the county committee’s frequently-chaotic twice-yearly meetings, which one politico hopes will be run better under his leadership.
