James endorses Brannan for Bay Ridge’s council seat
Public Advocate Letitia James has weighed in on the closely watched race for outgoing Councilmember Vincent Gentile’s seat in Southwest Brooklyn. And she is throwing her support behind Gentile’s chief of staff.
James has announced her endorsement of Justin Brannan in the Democratic Primary in the race for the 43rd Council District (Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Bensonhurst).
“Justin Brannan is just the kind of fighter South Brooklyn needs in the City Council; someone who is ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work on any issue no matter how large or small,” James said in a statement. “Time and again, Justin has demonstrated his steadfast commitment to improving his community and fighting for progressive causes, both through his work for Councilmember Gentile and as a community leader.”
