Who is Eric Stevenson?
Eric A. Stevenson is a Democratic member of the New York State Assembly, representing the 79th Assembly District, which covers the Morrisania and East Tremont sections of The Bronx.
Raised in Morrisania, Stevenson has followed the footsteps of his father, former District Leader Edward Stevenson, Jr., and his grandfather, former Assemblyman Edward Stevenson, Sr, by serving in Bronx Community Board 3 under the administrations of Bronx borough presidents Fernando Ferrer and Adolfo Carrion, Jr. After coming up short in several attempts to win the 79th Assembly seat against both Gloria Davis and Michael Benjamin, Stevenson finally won the seat in 2010 when Benjamin decided to step down from the seat after flirting with challenging Jose Enrique Serrano for Congress.
On April 4, 2013, federal prosecutors announced that Assemblyman Stevenson has been charged with bribery, conspiracy and other related charges. Federal Prosecutors say Stevenson took bribes in exchange for drafting, proposing and agreeing to enact legislation to aid his co-defendants' businesses. Authorities also said that a second, unidentified Assemblyman was charged in a sealed indictment, cooperated in the corruption probe, and will resign to avoid prosecution. That member was identified by the media as Assemblyman Nelson Castro.
