Bay Ridge Was Gerrymandered By Democrats After Redistricting It’s District 26
This was Bay Ridge’s Senate District which extended to Marine Park.
Andrew Gounardes and other Democrats has the ability to make fair districts for the House, Senate and Assembly. In 2019, Gounardes knew that politicians should not be able to choose their voters.
Instead of making a fair district map, Gounardes voted for this to be the map of his district:

He eliminated Republicans and Asians from Dyker Heights from the district.
Gounardes felt he was entitled to Sunset Park. Andrew doesn’t speak Spanish and he has never lifted a finger to help that community! Gounardes should have had the integrity to form a fair district.
Sunset Park is an immigrant community and it should not have been divided. All these politicians know that.
The Courts ruled that the maps Gounardes voted for were gerrymandered (Yes, Andrew Gounardes is a gerrymander.)
They appointed a special Master who gave us the map below dividing Bay Ridge in three sections. We were thrilled to be in 17 with Dyker Heights because we were free from Gounardes.
Then Bay Ridge Democrats and some politicians wrote letters and the district was changed back to what Gounardes and the Democrats initially did.
Andrew Gounardes used to speak out against gerrymandering. Then he became someone who voted for a gerrymandered Brooklyn. He had the chance to make fair districts, but chose not to. None of these district maps or information about redistricting were shared with the community in any of his e-mails or literature.
We are stuck with these district lines for 10 years.

Dandy Lion Closed on 89th Street & Moved In With Mr. Chips on 3rd & 75th Street
Ridgites who love The Dandy Lion Cafe will be glad to know that their breakfast spot closed on 3rd Avenue and 89th Street and is moving in with Mr. Chips Cafe on 3rd Avenue and 75th Street.
Mr. Chips told me that both businesses will be operating there.
We love the collaboration of two businesses who love this community.

Why? The rent was too high.
We are going to hear more of this as the cost of living has increased and is being passed on.
What can be done? Legislation at the city and state level can help!
Councilman Justin Brannan can pass the Small Business Jobs Survival Act, as the head of Finance in NYC Council, he has power to help (unless REBNY has a hold on him).
Senator Gounardes is holding up on property tax reform because his friends in other areas like Park Slope don’t want to pay more.
As taxes climb, so do the rents. Andrew Gounardes had everything he needed to change taxes since Bill de Blasio left office. The former Mayor had the property tax commission give out the property tax rate. The new mayor is a personal friend of Andrew’s.

District 11’s New Congressional District
This district map was changed again. The new District 11 Congressional District. It no longer includes Sunset Park.
Below is the district Andrew Gounardes voted to gerrymander even though he KNEW gerrymandering was wrong and spoke out about it for years. The Court had to rule that gerrymandering was unconstitutional. (See all the documents to this court case)
Sadly, not one Democrat in our area spoke out against gerrymandering.
