Bob McCarthy: In Cheektowaga



Brian Nowak’s tattooed arms were wrapped around something titled “A Century of Wealth in America” a few days ago as he waited for a Politics Column interviewer.
A little light reading for the Tim Hortons on Walden Avenue.


But studying concepts like pay inequity and universal health care is what drives the 31-year-old Cheektowaga councilman. It’s why he is emerging as the local face of a Democratic Party faction that these days inches more and more leftward. The issues espoused by “democratic socialists” like Sen. Bernie Sanders or newly elected Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of Queens are his issues too, and they will also dominate the Democratic presidential primary discussion beginning to unfold.
