David Weprin
David I. Weprin (born May 2, 1956) is a Democratic member of the New York State Assembly, representing District 24 in Queens since 2010. He was previously a member of the New York City Council, representing district 23. He is also the former Deputy Superintendent of the New York State Banking Commission and former Chairman of New York's Securities Industry Association.
On September 13, 2011, Weprin lost the special election to the US House of Representatives in 9th congressional district to Republican Bob Turner. Weprin's losing to Turner is attributed by some commentators to the national economy, President Barack Obama's lack of popularity in the district, and other local factors, with Israel as an additional issue.

Famous quotes containing the word david:
“But what is quackery? It is commonly an attempt to cure the diseases of a man by addressing his body alone. There is need of a physician who shall minister to both soul and body at once, that is, to man. Now he falls between two stools.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
