Jessica Scarcella-Spanton is Running For Diane Savino’s Senate Seat – District 23 in Brooklyn
When Senator Diane Savino announced her decision not to run for the Brooklyn and Staten Island District 23 seat, her former staffer, Jessica Scarcella-Spanton threw her hat in.
Why does the District 23 Senate seat look like this?
The Democrats super gerrymandered the district to give Andrew Gounardes more Democrats so he could win.
This seat includes a part of Staten, plus the waterfront of Sunset Park, Park Slope and Downtown Brooklyn, as well as all of SeaGate in Coney Island.
This is the district they created for Gounardes:
Savino decided not to run for the seat because more of the district is in Brooklyn and a lot of the area she doesn’t know.
Could Scarcella-Spanton be successful here? She’s running opposite Bianca Rajpersaud, a lobbyist.

We think there will be more candidates from the Brooklyn side – at least one anyway for this area. Throw your hat in and represent Brooklyn! We don’t need David Yassky’s flop flop here.
Good points:
Jessica Scarcella-Spanton is the mother of two small children.
Bad Points:
Not much is known about Jessica Scarcella-Spanton, other than she worked for Senator Savino.
Jessica Scarcella-Spanton is a Gounardes supporter. She liked a post to work for his team:
Her hot pink and navy campaign website has no information about her or the positions that she represents. (See here) To print signs and take pictures, rather tell people what you stand for is not a good sign.
From Scarcella-Spanton‘s social media, she is a huge Britney Spears fan and has tweeted her support to Free Britney. (See here, here, here, here and here)
She has no tweets speaking out against hate, government policies or anything – just retweets or compliments for politicians.
Except this……Scarcella-Spanton wants someone to make a law against playing videos loud on their phone. If you agree, she might be the right candidate for you. 8D
