Adrienne Adams, Andrew Gounardes And The Coney Casino Were in A SuperPac Against Us
In 2023, Ari Kagan and Justin Brannan ran for the District 47 seat.

A SuperPac called the Verrazzano Victory Alliance was formed to help Brannan.
It was purposely named to mislead Republicans in the area because it sounded like the name of a political group in Bay Ridge called: The Verrazzano Republicans Club. Info:

The NY Post shared that Jon Paul Lupo, the head of the SuperPac was a DeBlasio guy. See story:
See DeBlasio and Lupo photo:
The Verrazzano Victory’s website had the message below on their website until I shared it on X this week (then it disappeared).
Andrew Gounardes and Adrienne Adams were in kahoots with The Coney (Casino).
TSG Coney Island is the Casino.
You can see Justin Brannan and his staff members were lobbied by the casino.
Everyone in Bay Ridge knew since 2023 that Justin Brannan was lobbied by the casino. See here:
Grubhub and developers also contributed to the SuperPac. Our politicians shouldn’t be involved with developers AND OUR ELECTIONS.
Here’s how the Verrazzano Victory SuperPac spent the $87,000.00:
NYC Speaker Adrienne Adams doesn’t even live in Brooklyn, so why was she allowed to participate in our election? Now this woman wants to be Mayor of NYC after playing Brooklyn like this!
Andrew Gounardes should not have been allowed to use his state funds in this NYC election. Gounardes received matching funds on those donations, so technically our own tax dollars were used against us.
Worse than that….. Andrew Gounardes and Adrienne Adams will be the reason Coney Island is destroyed. And neither of them care because they don’t live there or represent that area. Politicians shouldn’t be able to #PlayPolitics like this.
This is not democracy. This is corruption. The casino had to invest in the community – not in a SuperPac for a politician.
