Edu Hermelyn, husband of Brooklyn Democratic chairwoman Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn and a senior vice president at Mercury Public Affairs, is working as a political advisor for Andrew Cuomo's mayoral campaign. This is particularly interesting given Rodneyse Hermelyn's strong support for Mayor Adams. While Cuomo's campaign spokesman states that one spouse's actions shouldn't reflect on the other, political insiders speculate that Rodneyse Hermelyn may switch her support to Cuomo as Adams faces low poll numbers and legal challenges. Adding to the intrigue, former Brooklyn Democratic leader Frank Seddio, an ally of Rodneyse Hermelyn, has also announced his support for Cuomo over Adams. Rodneyse Hermelyn herself has declined to comment on her husband's involvement with Cuomo's campaign or any potential shift in her political allegiances.
