District 43 – Who Won Susan Zhuang or Wai Yee Chan?
Susan Zhuang won the Democratic primary for District 43 over Wai Yee Chan. I am glad Brooklyn voted!
Wai Yee Chan was trounced!
In Southern BK, @susanzhuangnyc declares victory for the Democratic primary in the newly re-drawn District 43, which includes Bensonhurst and parts of Sunset Park & Dyker Heights (and of course @NY1 @errollouis is on here at the watch party!) pic.twitter.com/3fOhXRRIXf

Brooklyn doesn’t want a woman from Queens being a leader here! We have plenty of great Brooklynites who can lead!

GayRidge Protested Assemblyman Alec Brook-Krasny. Chris McCreight Lurked

View this post on Instagram
A post shared by GayRidge (@gayridge)

There is a real protest here. Assemblyman Alec Brook-Krasny made comments at a Community Board 10 Meeting a few days ago.
Listen to the video above – don’t just listen to the protesters.
Listen to the person who is creating the video. As LJ explains what happened, you can hear the sadness in his voice. If you can hear the sadness, then you aren’t listening!
Update: There is a lot of politics around this story. This group wanted to make an appointment with the Assemblyman and his phone wasn’t working. The Brooklyn Paper said that Assemblyman called the police to escort him and his staffer out of the building. (See here) C’mon!
In the video, you hear a Ridgite say that he didn’t know this was Alec Brook-Krasny’s office. There is no sign! It’s 6 months into the year and he didn’t put up a sign. C’mon!
Then there is also someone playing politics here. Chris McCreight is the chief of staff to Councilman Justin Brannan. I saw a video of him being snarky and laughing. Some videos/photos were posted and then removed.
McCreight is standing around in this video. He is not chanting. He’s there just to take photos and play politics on Republican Assemblyman. Why? Because McCreight announced that he is running against Brook-Krasny next year. Here’s the strange thing about that…..Mathylde Frontus was in the seat. McCreight should have deferred to Frontus as it was her seat.
From Gay Ridge’s video, you can see the graffiti has still not been removed from the street. McCreight should have called for someone to remove it or brought a can of spray paint and covered the hate.
I saw another video of McCreight being snarky and laughing. Some videos/photos were posted and then removed.

Why Did Jay Brown Fail to Mention That Wai Yee Chan Lives in Queens?
Jay Brown, a journalist for the Brooklyn Reporter wrote a column called, “It’s a Matter of Fact.”
Yet, Jay Brown failed to tell Brooklyn that Wai Yee Chan is a Queens resident. (See article)
When Brown was asked about this on Twitter, Jay ignored people and didn’t correct the article. Brown didn’t want to explain the mistake or why he left out this important information.
Some of the candidates running for the District 43 City Council seat are parents. It’s surprising that Jay Brown would try to take another parent’s opportunity away by minimizing another candidate’s accomplishments and pushing for a politician that lives in Queens.
Today, John Liu was in Brooklyn campaigning for Wai Yee. What interest does Liu have in our election.
Jay Brown is seen on the Bay Ridge Democrats social media page supporting Wai Yee. He should have disclosed that information in his article.

We were shocked the Bay Ridge Democrats endorsed a candidate that had taken money from a PAC money (PAC = political action Committee).
Taypayers for Affordable New York is a known Real Estate Pac. Julia Salazar explains this here. This article explains Real Estate Pac money in this election.
How embarrassing for Andrew Gounardes, Justin Brannan and Iwen Chu to be pushing a candidate who took Real Estate PAC money!
Democrat District Leader, Chris McCreight used to speak out against PACs, but now he is tweeting and supporting Wei Yee Chan. Not one Democrat has spoken out against Wai Yee accepting PAC money.
Sadly, none of these politicians were present supporting the community at the 86th Street meeting in April, where residents had to fight against a developer. (Info here and here)

Assemblyman Chang Shared Chveni Cafe
Although Assemblyman Lester Chang does not represent Bay Ridge, I love reading his tweets because he loves Brooklyn!
Assemblyman Chang shared that he had great Borscht and some delicious Georgian cuisine at at 6216 18th Avenue in Bensonhurst. (See menu)
I’ve lived here for years and I never heard of the place.
Assemblyman Chang uses social media to help get the word out about businesses in his district and he doesn’t play politics on Twitter.
