Are Democrats Suing Over the Congressinal District Because They Can’t Beat Malliotakis?
I have spoken out strongly against our gerrymandered NYC Council seat and our NYS Senate seat.
Democrats in Bay Ridge don’t care about gerrymandering. No one from the Bay Ridge Democrats has spoken out against gerrymandering in years.
Today, the news announced that four people are suing over Congressional District 11. Who are they? Two peopler are from Staten Island and two people are from Manhattan. See article:

They want to redraw District 11 and put Staten Island with Manhattan, so that black andd hispanic voters have more of a voice. Don’t they know Nicole Malliotakis is Hispanic?
Here’s the petition with their names:

1) José Ramírez-Garofalo, a Staten Island resident. This guy has spoken out against many things – he’s the real deal.
2) Aixa Torres – a Manhattan resident in a video with Brad Lander. See:

3) Melissa Carty – she’s in Deborah Glick’s district in Manhattan:

4)Michael Williams
Last year, Justin Brannan explored a run for Congress against Malliotakis. We knew he was going to challenge her because he couldn’t win. See:
Our state senate district was badly gerrymandered. Why isn’t anyone speaking up for the Hispanic voters in Sunset Park?
