June 2, 2022David Yassky Is Running for Senate in District 26 And He’s Ready to Listen
David Yassky served in City Council. Now he is running for NYS Senate and he’s listening to high school student – that’s a good start.
Besides, Yassky is running against Andrew Gounardes, remember Gounardes voted to gerrymander our area to help Max Rose. The Courts ruled the gerrymandering unconstitutional. Gounardes never spoke about the maps that he voted in favor of and never shared the maps – he thought we wouldn’t know.
