Here's City Councilman Kendall Stewart of Brooklyn discussing his plan to challenge State Senator Kevin Parker for his seat in next year’s election.

Stewart hasn’t created a committee for his state Senate run just yet. But he does have $1,188 in an account set up to bid for a position on the Democratic Party’s state committee. (That committee is also carrying $3,525 in debt.)

Kevin Parker, according to this filing, has $17,932.42 on hand in his campaign account.
