In the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn, hundreds of people are learning what it means to be county committee members. That's because in last week's primary, voters chose committee members who represent them within the local democratic or republican party.

WNYC's Shumita Basu shared impressions of a county committee meeting in the Bronx on Thursday night, where newly-elected members mixed with the old guard.

No judicial nomination announced for Jeff Klein at this @bronxdems meeting. Chairman @MarcosCrespo85 says: Yes, I supported Klein, but we have to respect the votes of the people and work with @Biaggi4NY.

And WNYC's Yasmeen Khan updated her reporting on suspicious mailers sent to members of the Brooklyn County Committee ahead of next week's meeting.

I’ve been hearing about these letters all day. They’re asking for county committee members to turn over proxy power to BK Democratic Party boss Frank Seddio https://t.co/NLylkRfnsq
