Abe George
Brooklyn, NY - Brooklyn’s new District Attorney Kenneth
Thompson has hired his former Democratic rival, Abe George, as deputy bureau
chief of the DA Narcotics Investigations Bureau.
The NEW YORK POST reports that the move is not completely
unexpected, as it was George’s exit from the race that ultimately sealed a
landslide victory for Thompson over incumbent Charles “Joe” Hynes.
Back in July, strategists for Thompson acquired data showing
that George and Thompson were at risk of splitting the vote, possibly handing
Hynes a seventh term, but after sharing sessions between campaigns-as well as
discussions between George and Thompson George abruptly quit the race and
joined team-Thompson.
“The percentage shows that my dropping out puts us over the
top. I knew we were going to split the vote,” George said at the time.
