Simcha Eichenstein Sworn in as Freshman Assemblyman
Simcha Eichenstein made history at the Capitol Wednesday afternoon when he was sworn in — with his long chassidic jacket— for his first term as an assemblyman representing Boro Park and parts of Midwood.
The annual legislative session that started today goes until June 19. Eichenstein is part of the Democratic caucus, which continued their lock on power in last year’s elections which gave them 107 out of 150 seats.
