Yoni Hikind has learnt the political ropes by being close to his father for many years in the State Assembly. This is a much better background than Yeger’s “community board”.
Yeger had initially started running against Chaim Deutch. This is very troubling since it indicates naked political ambition even if it means going against the communities established councilman who is doing a very fine job. (In addition to attempting to take away a Yid’s job, which isn’t halachicly permissible.) He only switched to Greenfield’s district when he announced he’s retiring. Otherwise he’d be going against Deutch.
That all said, being he’s the official Democrat candidate, he will likely win as the Democrat political machine will supply Yeger enough votes on Row A.
