April 27, 2024Peter Abbate & Tori Kelly Are Off the Ballot
In November 2022, Peter Abbate lost the District 49 Assembly seat to Lester Chang. District 49 is part of Dyker Heights and part of Sunset Park.
Peter Abbate hoped to make a comeback this November, but the NY Post has reported that Peter Abbate was BOOTED from the ballot!
The NY Post wrote: “A state judge ruled Friday that many of the 2,260 signatures submitted by Peter Abbate and Democratic District Leaders Victoria Kelly and Jimmy Li were invalid, and booted them from the ballot.” (Source)
US China Press wrote about this (here) I didn’t understand how that many signatures could not be valid, so I asked Errol Louis because he knows NYC elections.
Tori Kelly Burhans is the Chief of Staff at Senator Andrew Gounardes’ office. Gounardes has not commented about the signatures.
Three days later (4/30/24) Gounardes failed to mention election integrity and praised his staffer:
Assemblyman Bill Colton wrote this on social media:
Peter Abbate and Tori Kelly Burhans shouldn’t have been on the ballot since District 49 is the new Asian District in Brooklyn and the community needed new representation.
Pei “Sanny” Xia Chen Liu, the wife of slain NYPD Officer Wenjian Liu wanted to be a district leader. (Source) We should have seen Tori Kelly step aside and support Sanny! Senator Andrew Gounardes and Senator Iwen Chu should have supported Sanny’s candidacy.
Last year, Tori Kelly supported WaiYee Chan for NYC Council to represent Dyker Heights, yet WaiYee lived in Queens!
Andrew Gounardes and Senator Chu also pushed the out-of-district candidate because they are out-of-touch with the community!
Luckily, the community came out and voted against Waiyee Chan.
Tori Kelly’s only job as a District Leader was to bring forward qualified candidates to run for office in the community. Tori Kelly Burhans should have told the community that WaiYee lived in Queens! When Susan Zhuang won the primary, Kelly did not publicly support her.
Congratulations Joyce Xie and Tony Ko – it’s your time! It’s nice that there will be new people representing Brooklyn!
Both Joyce Xie and Tony Ko are parents, so they will careful about selecting and supporting future candidates for the community!
They are both concerned about safety as well!
An armed robbery occurred at the 8th Ave store. I’m here for the community, and I’ve promptly contacted the police for assistance. Kudos to the NYPD for their swift response. ?? Don’t forget to vote for Tony Ko and Joyce Xie on 6/25!

April 27, 2024Such Kindness at Christ Church in Bay Ridge
Last week, Christ Church held a yard sale on their grounds. They also advertised that they were going to have a mending station.
Many people have a favorite shirt or item they haven’t worn because it needs to be mended or an adjustment needs to be made. A lot of people don’t have or know how to use a sewing machine. That’s so kind for people to offer to help like this!
