Republicans Can Rock the Democratic Primary in NYC – New Rules Due to Redistricting

Hey Republicans,
Did you know that you can vote in the upcoming Senate Democrat primary from August 13th to August 21st?
Due to redistricting, you can go to the voting center, change your party THAT DAY and submit an affidavit ballot to vote against the champion of bail reform, Andrew Gounardes. (Information)

You can change your party back the next day.
Now I know for some Republicans, they wouldn’t want to be a Democrat – even for a short time. This message is not for you, Ted.
But I am thinking there are a lot of home owners who would love to vote against Gounardes. For anyone who is tired of Andrew’s broken promises and wants to do something about it….come and rock the vote in the Democratic primary.

Andrew Gounardes voted to gerrymander this community to help him and his friend, Max Rose win their seats. Andrew could have done the right thing and made a fair district, but he joined his friends in Albany and didn’t care about residents in this district.
David Yassky is a moderate Democrat. His responses on social media show he’s rationale and a common sense Democrat. That’s exactly what we need.
David Yassky isn’t going to play on social media and he isn’t afraid to tell Brannan he’s wrong (See here)
On television, one candidate in the upcoming primary was asked how he felt about Republicans voting in the Democratic primary and he was so upset. LOL! I’m a Democrat and I invite you to come Rock the Vote, Bay Ridge!

July 29, 2022Why Did Andrew Gounardes Wait So Long to Look at Safety at the 86th Street School Site?

Senator Andrew Gounardes shared the picture above and wrote on social media today that he looked at the safety concerns around the new school on 86th Street with the Department of Transportation today.
This location was named a location for a school in February 2019 – why did it Senator Gounardes so long to look at the safety of the area? (Source)

In 2019, the local paper printed about the deal behind the school. (Source) When people asked on social media about the property, Councilman Brannan said there was no deal. Brannan also said a hotel was not being built next to the school. (See here) Avid Hotel is being built there. (See here)
This January, some of the details of that property came out in a publication outside of our district. (Source) At that point, we should have seen Senator Gounardes and experienced members of CB 10 take action for the community.

Senator Gounardes should have investigated the school situation when he was aware that corruption happened. His friendship with Justin Brannan interferes with his position to speak up for our community.
A second school property on 5th Avenue was owned by the owner of Nathans. here was absolutely no reason that deal should have continued.
I wrote to Community Board 10 and they were annoyed that I asked them about it. Some people don’t think the community has the right to question things when corruption happens in the community.
We should have seen CB 10 address the issues in the article because the decision where a school was being placed in our community should not have been made by a man, who sent his child to private school. How do we know that? On June 5th, Andrew Gounardes posted a picture of himself with his friend and his child at her school on Twitter.

July 28, 2022David Yassky Explained to Brannan How to Get Universal Health Coverage

David Yassky is running for the NYS Senate – to represent Bay Ridge/Sunset Park and Downtown Brooklyn.
Yassky’s a graduate of Princeton University and Yale Law School.
Councilman Justin Brannan was disingenuous with his tweet yesterday. He purposely didn’t use the @ symbol so he could rally the Brannanites, but not let David Yassky know he was referring to him.
Yassky noticed the snarky tweet and he didn’t shy away from it.
David Yassky answered Brannan on how universal coverage could be achieved and explained why the socialist way to healthcare isn’t the best. His answer was informative and straightforward.
Why didn’t Councilman Brannan know this?
Councilman Brannan is friends with Gounardes. If David Yassky wins, he isn’t going to be silent like Gounardes is. He’s ready to talk frankly to Brannan…..and that’s what we need.
