Brittany Ramos DeBarros Called Out the Lack of Diversity in the Bay Ridge Democrats
Brittany Ramos DeBarros tweeted a picture of the Bay Ridge Democrats with Gounardes pointing out the lack of diversity of the group.
Brittany posted this to Councilman Brannan here.
Hardly any Bay Ridge Democrats showed up for the photo. Years ago, there were a lot more people standing with Andrew Gounardes.
In the photo are three politicians (Gounardes, Rose & Brannan) and at least three staff members from Gounardes or Brannan’s office (this includes District Leaders – Chris McCreight and Tori Burhas Kelly).
A person responded to Brittany that she many need these people if she wins the primary. Brittany boldly responded back boldly.
The Bay Ridge Democrats have surprised Bay Ridge over the years….and not in a good way.
1. They supported Bernie Sanders over Joe Bidden. (Seen here)
2. The club was silent about Andrew Gounardes voting to gerrymander Brooklyn. This is a form of voter suppression and corruption, so we should have heard from the Bay Ridge Democrats.
3. Not one District Leader or member of the Bay Ridge Democrats spoke out against the Nathan’s school deal which was shared in the news. (See here) Their silence says they agree with it. Gounardes and Rose were silent about this as well.
4. When the Bay Ridge Democrats saw that Andrew Gounardes red light camera bill was watered down – why didn’t they speak out? Justin Brannan was lobbied over the cameras. (See here)
Andrew Gounardes boasted that his bill was going to suspend deivers who received five violations. BUT ANDRE DIDN’T CARRY THAT BILL…all NYC got was more cameras – no penalties for repeat offenders.
5. When Justin Brannan voted in favor of loading zones, a bill which he failed to share was backed by lobbyists, why didn’t the Bay Ridge Democrats speak out? (Info) Senator Gounardes was silent.
6. When Justin Brannan pushed a drone bill for lobbyists since his first month in office and throughout the pandemic, why didn’t the Bay Ridge Democrats speak up? (See bill) Andrew Gounardes and Max Rose were silent.
The Bay Ridge Democrats used to share that they were against corruption.
Please vote against Andrew Gounardes and Max Rose – let’s break the boys club up and end corruption. #SomethingIsntRightHere
