Crains: Dromm 'Big Winner' of Grassroots School Parent Support

From Crains:
Educational Justice PAC, which bills itself as the city’s first parent-initiated grassroots political action committee, will unveil its City Council endorsements today. The big winner is Daniel Dromm, a public school teacher challenging Queens Councilwoman Helen Sears in the Democratic primary. Dromm got $2,750, the maximum donation allowed. S.J. Jung, running for an open seat in Flushing, got $750, and Mark Winston Griffith, challenging Councilman Al Vann in central Brooklyn, got $500. Eight incumbents received $250 each from the PAC, which says it’s trying to increase accountability at the Department of Education.
