☆ Michael Bragman, 83, Dies; Led a Failed Legislative Coup in New York
  + stars: | 2023-10-27 | by ( Sam Roberts | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Michael J. Bragman, a Democratic powerhouse who was deposed as the majority leader of the New York State Assembly and retired from politics after mounting an unsuccessful and politically suicidal coup against the speaker, Sheldon Silver, in 2000, died on Oct. 13 in Syracuse, N.Y. Mr. Bragman exerted a profound influence in the Assembly. He was credited with successfully sponsoring more than 300 bills and pumping some $200 million in pork-barrel funding for local projects in his Central New York State district, which was centered in Syracuse. The legislation, which became known as Jenna’s Law, had already been approved in the Republican-controlled State Senate but was stalled in the Assembly. Mr. Silver was swayed after meeting with the victim’s parents and Mr. Bragman.

Like many tech workers and investors, she moved to San Francisco from elsewhere — Michigan, in her case — and still feels invested in the politics of her home state. Whether there’s a tech expertise gap between Democrats and Republicans is difficult to measure. The Republican State Leadership Committee, which works to elect Republicans at the state level, didn’t respond to requests for comment. Some tech workers are in their third election cycles as volunteers, giving them a base of experience to work from. Given its size, Tech for Campaigns can test different messages and tactics across states.
