Erik Frankel is Running for NYC Council to Represent District 38 – Bay Ridge & Sunset Park
I saw Erik Frankel announced he is running for NYC Council.
Yes I am running for City Council dist 38. Complaining about our politicians is pointless, we will replace them next year. Primary is less than a year away, we have alot to do.#elections2023#nyc_council38 #Brooklyn#politics#rebootbrooklyn pic.twitter.com/Q5o9hLuQsO

We are seeing people throwing their hat into the 2023 election so early because current politicians are not able to take on the hard issues – like taxes! Plus lobbyists are winning in Brooklyn!
Erik is business owner in Sunset Park. He owns Frankels on 39th Street and 3rd Avenue. The store sells construction boots and work gear. The buildings property tax was $40,000!!! (Story here)
We often hear politicians say that they support small businesses, but do they really? If they did, they would have started a court case for all of these businesses being unfairly taxed.
When Erik went to get help from elected politicians in his area, he couldn’t get any. He took out a loan to pay the property tax! Then he decided to run for office.
The more I read about Erik Frankel, the more I wanted to know!
In the Brooklyn Paper, Erik is quoted saying: “I feel that it’s necessary to run for City Council because I can no longer sit back and watch self-serving politicians and community activists overrule the interests of the community for their own personal gains.”
If the new NYC Council districts go through, Bay Ridge may have the opportunity to vote for this down-to-earth father, who wants to represent our community.
