Ari Kagan is Running Against Inna Vernikov for NYC Council – Why?
Ari Kagan announced that he is running for the 48th District Council seat. That seat is held by a Republican, Inna Vernikov.
Inna Vernikov was thinking of running for a state seat, but can serve four more years as a councilmember before she is term-limited. She wrote this:
Inna Vernikov has been one of the loudest voices against Antisemitism in Brooklyn for many years.
She’s the head of the minority party in NYC Council and there isn’t a Democrat who can beat her! She smashed Saperstein in the last election:
The Chairman of the Republican Party should recall Kagan because Brooklyn needs Vernikov’s loud voice.
Vernikov should not be using her resources to fight him as a Republican in the primary. If Kagan was running as an independent, it would be different (and he would be on the ballot in November anyway).
PS. I actually like Ari Kagan – he’s a good man. Dirty politics and a SuperPac killed his last election. But this election with Vernikov isn’t for him.
