I don't recall hearing anything either way from LIC CD Rep. Maloney.

LIC's City Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer and State Senator Michael Gianaris, both white, saw what happened in neighboring CD14 when AOC beat Joe Crowley, who is white.

I believe their position against the deal was effected by crazy progressive, AOC's win.

Maloney definitely supported the move, but probably has to keep the peace for party unity; I don’t know if she’ll say anything publicly, but there is probably quiet moves to simply replace AOC in the next election - big money may just quietly be put behind a challenger.

As for Van Bramer and Gianaris, they (and anyone representing the district) could make the case for opposing Amazon; while many here focus on the jobs lost, there could have been disastrous consequences for people actually living there - they probably wouldn’t qualify for those jobs, and would probably be forced out of their housing (and unable to afford new housing built).
