Republicans Running for District 47 Council Seat
There are a lot of challengers on this year’s list because many people realize a hands-on representative is needed in our community.
Anthony Batista Perez is the only Democrat who challenged Justin Brannan, so he will be on the primary ballot starting with early voting Saturday, June 17, 2023 – Sunday, June 25, 2023 (Tuesday, June 27th is the official voting day
In alphabetical order, these are the Republicans who will be on the primary ballot in June:
1) Anna Belfiore-Delfaus is currently a special education teacher, who is be focusing on education, crime and safe neighborhoods. Belfiore-Delfaus is taking questions on Twitter. She was asked about vaccine mandates here. Bay Ridge has never been represented by a female.
Anna shared this video:
I am proud to officially announce my run for City Council in District 47. Please consider contributing to my campaign (every $1 is matched by $8 due to matching funds). Thank you for your support. https://t.co/ppAMICn1Ol pic.twitter.com/2jlmlCJzWs

2) Ari Kagan – Ari Kagan is the NYC Councilman whose been cleaning up 86th Street under the L (and he’s doing a good job there because he’s been persistent). Like us, redistricting left Kagan at a disadvantage. Most notable: Since he’s in office, we can look at his money and compare it to Brannan’s. His campaign FB page is here.
3) Avery Pereira – All around good guy, Avery Pereira could be trusted to stay focused on this area and avoid lobbyists nonsense.
Pereira has spoken out about cutting wasteful spending. (See here) Avery believes that NYC workers who were fired for not getting the Covid vaccine, should be rehired. Most notable: He’s trustworthy.
4) Michael Ragusa – Mike is high energy and very focused on problems in our community. His concentration will be on safer streets, homelessness, education and improving the business climate. (More info here) Ragusa recently had a fundraiser and raised more money than any of the other candidates in this quarter. Most notable: He’s all over the district, from Bay Ridge to Coney Island. We need someone who walks around the community.
