Mathylde Frontus Won Again, Dionne Brown Jordan
Assemblywoman Mathylde Frontus was declared the winner over Dionne Brown Jordan.
This was a strange election. Dionne Brown Jordan was running for office, but didn’t have a website or any clear goals for the position. There wasn’t even a debate between the candidates. If you are running for an incumbent’s seat, you need to be able to state your case and debate.
Frontus is a worker, so she doesn’t have a hard time at debates. She’s actually gained more supporters at debates because she doesn’t go on attack – states what’s she’s done.
We received flyers from both. But there wasn’t much information about Dionne Brown Jordan.
They stopped posting updates around 11:30 pm.
Frontus has 3522 votes – 65.7% of the vote
Brown Jordan has 1841 votes – 34.3 % of the vote
The Daily News called it a GAPING 2-1 MARGIN.

June 28, 2022Harbor Fitness Put Up Their Sign on 3rd Avenue
Harbor Fitness is opening at 7118 3rd Avenue, where NY Sports Club used to be.
Update: They were going to open right away, but there was a fire at NY Sports Club right before it closed. So the repairs and time needed to update the gym has caused the delay. I heard they were opening in September, but that was just someone saying that – the gym has not made an announcement.
Bay Ridge is excited about this gym opening another location. http://www.harborfitness.com/

June 27, 2022Non-Citizen Voting Declared Unconstitutional
If you read this blog for awhile, you have seen me write about my great grandmother, who was assisted at Ellis Island by New Yorkers.
I believe people have the right to become citizens. If the system is broken then NYC Council should help to fix the system.
Councilman Justin Brannan co-sponsored the bill to give non-citizens the right to vote in local NYC elections. (See here)
The Supreme Court ordered that this bill violates the New York State Constitution, the New York State Law and the Municipal Home Rule Law. (See story)
When Justin Brannan took office, he had to file an Oath of Office. Brannan had to swear to support and uphold the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of the State of New York, and the Charter of the City of New York. He has not done that.
Maybe politicians like Brannan don’t know the Constitution and need to learn about it before they take office. It’s not rocket science:
Today, City Councilman Joe Borelli revealed that more Democrats voted against the local law than Republicans.
Justin Brannan is not doing what he should be doing.
Michael Tannousis and Nicole Malliotakis shared this win on social media.
We should not see Brannan writing nonsense on Twitter when the Supreme Court ruled that this is violating the state Constitution.
We should see Brannan and his office helping people become citizens, so they can vote! Malliotakis does help people become citizens. (See here)
