As you point out, she grew up in Brooklyn in the Bushwick Houses, NYC public housing. That's only about a mile from where I lived in Bushwick until I was 9 years old.

That, and the fact that her father was a NYC police officer.

I wish she'd move back to NY so she can run for a voting seat in Congress.
