Andrew Gounardes Didn’t Share the Debate Link – David Yassky Did
David Yassky shared the link to the Zoom debate with Andrew Gounardes. Yassky said that he previously represented 30% of the new district.
Why didn’t Andrew Gounardes share the link to the debate? He must not have wanted Bay Ridge to know. On social media, a few of the people who are close with Gounardes are the only ones talking about the debate.
Andrew Gounardes thought that quietly gerrymandering Bay Ridge was alright. Bay Ridge had been gerrymandered for years by the Republicans, so we were shocked that when Andrew had the chance to do the right thing for Bay Ridge, he didn’t.
The courts had to step in and ruled the congressional maps w3ere unconstitutional. The report specifically mentioned our district.
Now a lot of money will be wasted on having a second election in August. We should have seen Andrew Gounardes calling for fair districts, but he didn’t.
Gounardes represents only 20% of the district and would not be a good leader in this district. Why? This is a waterfront district. Gounardes hasn’t improved our waterfront – the bike path is a mess!
What Andrew didn’t realize in redistricting Brooklyn, is that he would have an opponent. Thankfully, David Yassky is a moderate Democrat and that’s a good thing! He’s represented Brooklyn before and we need to hear more from him!
The video of the debate is not on Schnepps Media Youtube page yet. (That’s here) If I see it, I will share it. If you see it, please share a link!

“On social media, a few of the people who are close with Gounardes are the only ones talking about the debate.”
That’s probably exactly why he didn’t share the link. He knows he has a more vocal social media following them Yassky and wanted to control the narrative.
My primary vote is going to Yassky.
