A Jamaican-American New York lawmaker has won his bid for vice-chair of the Democratic National Committee.
He is Assemblyman Michael Blake.
Mr. Blake, 34, was a member of Barack Obama’s presidential election campaign and later worked at the White House.
He was born in South Bronx, New York to Jamaican parents who were born in St. Ann and St. Andrew and moved to the United States in the 1970s.
In 2014, he was elected to the New York State Assembly from the South Bronx district, despite the Bronx Democratic Party not supporting his candidacy and claiming that he was not a resident of the borough.
