Salaam seems like a fine person, but it's worth noting he was basically hand-appointed to restore the Keith Wright political dynasty to power (https://gothamist.com/news/harlem-shake-up-how-a-council-upset-returned-keith-wright-from-the-wilderness https://gothamist.com/news/harlem-shake-up-how-a-council-ups...). Salaam's political career is therefore contingent on continuing to serve Wright's interests, whatever those are (the eventual ascent of Wright's son, Salaam's campaign manager?), which is... not attractive in a representative.
