Nikki Lucas stated, “I am happy to be able to bring this candidate’s forum to East New York, which is the district where I live and work. The voters are invited to come out to see the candidates in person, and we are excited about our partnership with JIG Media, to be able to livestream the event to the entire city. We worked together in the past with the livestream of the District Attorney Candidate’s Forum, which was very helpful for the voters and the candidates. This is a platform for the candidates to talk directly to the people.”
Nikki Lucas, who is responsible for putting this forum together, is also credited with landing ABC TV reporter, Derick Waller, as the moderator.
