		<description><![CDATA[As the local political dust of 2009 settles, Brooklynites will begin to see their city council choices at work (or not) in the new year.  
Former councilman Bill deBlasio ascended to the role of public advocate this month, and stood with some of the council's newest members to announce his intentions of reform for the office. "You have to engage the grass roots, and my office will be the leading edge of that,” he told the New York Times, of his desire to train city residents as community organizers.  Now, residents of our fine borough will see the representation of three new incumbents whose rise to local leader began in the very same place.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA['Tis the season for city elections, so in advance of the September 15 primary, Brooklyn The Borough has compiled a list of incumbents and challengers in this year's contested City Council elections for Brooklyn.  There are many challengers this year, and open seats in the 33rd and 39th districts have made for heated races.  Issues surrounding sustainable development have driven many candidates out of the woodwork. The pro-development Brooklyn political machine is still alive but questions remain about whether candidates supported by the county's party boss, Assemblyman Vito Lopez, will sustain themselves despite criticism for their ties to a machine that makes the money flow from Brooklyn based business interests.  The term limits extension has also sparked a renewed political engagement in the borough.  Many candidates who had planned on running for seats that would have been open before term limits were extended have chosen to challenge incumbents that voted for the extension.  We've compiled detailed information on each race as well as fundraising totals as the candidates head into the final weekend of the campaign.  ]]></description>
