Gounardes Flip Flops – Supports Bill That Stops Landlords From Evicting Tenants Who Don’t Pay
When Andrew Gounardes ran for office, he did not support the bill to stop evictions.
Thousands of people in NYC were evicted:
Evictions are on the rise in NYC:

Nearly 4,400 households have been kicked out of their apartments since a freeze on most evictions expired last January
This is happening as NYC’s homelessness crisis surpasses record levels

Now that election season is over, Gounardes supports this bill, as we saw a group thanking him on social media. #FlipFlop #NonElectionYear
What about all the property owners and landlords who trusted Gounardes and voted for him? Fickle Andrew thinks they don’t know!
There are landlords in NYC who have not received rent money since before the pandemic.
Here’s what $4000 a month gets you in Bay Ridge:

February 5, 2023Mayor Adams Stayed Overnight with the Asylum Seekers – Andrew Gounardes Did Not
Mayor Adams moved the new immigrants to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, which is in Gounardes District. These men were comfortable in a hotel in Manhattan, so they were not happy about living in the shared space at the Terminal.
Spent the coldest night of the year at Brooklyn Cruise Terminal with “Homeless Hero” and advocate Shams DaBaron & @AMEddieGibbs.

Our brothers are being kept warm and the team working here is giving new meaning to the words “love thy neighbor.” pic.twitter.com/62o0wE7W2r
Gounardes and other liberals shared a statement on social media, without viewing the facilities. The Twitter politicians believe that putting up a message on social media is “doing something.”
Last night, dozens of asylum seekers destined for the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal relief center slept outside the Watson Hotel. Asylum seekers reported the center was freezing.

As local representatives for Red Hook @Sen_Gounardes, @MMitaynes and I issued the following response: pic.twitter.com/DaA1JVeYe7
With redistricting, Andrew Gounardes now represents Bay Ridge to Downtown Brooklyn, rather than to Marine Park.
Mayor Adams spent the night on the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal with the new immigrants. He was joined by Assemblyman Eddie Gibbs. Andrew Gounardes was not willing to do that because it’s not easy like issuing a statement on social media. Instead, he tweeted:
Earlier that day, Andrew was playing with some other elected making a video running through the station. The politicians were complaining that they wanted a six minute wait for the train. All were clueless that the wait for a train is over twenty minutes in Bay Ridge – even Gounardes seemed clueless about that!
Today @Sen_Gounardes @Bobby4Brooklyn @JoAnneSimonBK52 and @ZohranKMamdani raced our own @betsyplum to the top of the Smith-9th St station to ask @GovKathyHochul to fund #6MinuteService and #FixtheMTA in the state budget.

If you need a senator who is going to play around instead of take action for the community, you have the right person with Gouardes.
