In June 2025, Justin Brannan said; “I’ve led the charge under the leadership of the speaker, as chair of the budget committee, to fight back against over $1 billion in cuts that the mayor tried to make. I don’t think there’s any disputing that I was the face of many of those fights because of my role in the City Council.” See here: https://shorturl.at/7Yd9n
Justin Brannan said in an interview with Ben Max that there was almost 9 million dollars in reserve.

Even Eric Adams called out Justin Brannan:
When the NYC budget went from $88.2B in 2021 to $116 in 2025, why didn’t Justin Brannan help make cuts and call out the spending?
Now Mamdani is interested in raising taxes.
It says on the wealthiest NY’ers, but our property taxes were increased.
Brannan shared that he clawed back on the budget cuts. See video:
