Ari Kagan is Expected to Challenge Brannan
Woot Woot! What good news!
NYC Council changed district lines. In the Summer, Bay Ridge started out with Staten Island. Bay Ridge Democrats complained and the district was moved to Bay Ridge and Sunset Park. Brannan could never beat Alexa Aviles.
Then the district was changed to this gerrymandered monster with one street connector for the monster’s head.
Ari Kagan was pushed out. Current elected leaders and district leaders in Brooklyn didn’t say anything. Chris McCreight and Tori Burhas were silent (as usual). (Story here)
Ari Kagan switched parties and will challenge Justin Brannan as a Republican. Ari Kagan and Mike Ragusa (his website) will have a primary. Bye bye Brannan!
Anyone who has backed Brannan in the past has no idea how many lobbyists projects he has pushed in the area. Please check before you endorse/support. It’s clear, we need a new representative.
Ari Kagan’s work has been impressing Brooklynites:
Chris McCreight and other Democrats were bitter about the news.
If McCreight spoke out against the gerrymandered district which overtook Ari Kagan’s district, this wouldn’t have made more divisions in the Democratic Party. (See here)
McCreight’s silence to preserve his position in Brannan’s office doesn’t work out well for Brooklyn.
