David Weprin

David I. Weprin (born May 2, 1956) is a Democratic member of the New York State Assembly, representing District 24 in Queens since 2010. He was previously a member of the New York City Council, representing district 23. He is also the former Deputy Superintendent of the New York State Banking Commission and former Chairman of New York's Securities Industry Association. On September 13, 2011, Weprin lost the special election to the US House of Representatives to fill Anthony Weiner's former seat in 9th congressional district to Republican Bob Turner. Weprin's defeat by a little known Republican candidate in a heavily Democratic was interpreted as a rejection of the entrenched patronage and nepotism that plagues the New York City and State political scene.
