Max Ross Spent the Weekend in Bay Ridge
On Sunday, Max Rose attended the morning events before the parade and marched in the St. Paddy’s Day Parade on 3rd Avenue. Residents love Rose and were calling out, “Max” to get his attention. Some got a smile and wave, while others Rose hugged as he walked the parade route.
The day before, Max Rose held a townhall meeting at Fort Hamilton High School. This was a change for our community as the old Congressman didn’t want to meet with residents at al. Republicans who attended Max Rose’s Townhall in Bay Ridge found him refreshing and liked him more than they thought they would. I was surprised to see how pleased they were with Rose. I think they enjoy his optimistic attitude, good nature and moderate views.
Other political groups felt that Rose could have done better. Specifically they thought the moderator interfered with the authenticity of the Townhall as the moderator didn’t ask the question the way that it was written. Some residents felt this allowed Rose to provide watered down answers.
Fight Back Bay Ridge does a good job sticking up for this community. They discussed the screened/revised questions that others talked about:
Fight Back Bay Ridge provided an example of a real question that was submitted, but then was revised:
Max Rose is against The Green New Deal that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has backed.
Rose has opposed Medicare for All since the start. This was not something new. He does support healthcare for all.
I thought this was interesting to note:
Cambra Homeless Prevention was at the Townhall with information
