Brooklyn Republican Party endorses Saperstein for City Council
Brooklyn Republican Party Chairman Ted Ghorra and executive committee members have endorsed Steve Saperstein for New York City Council, 48th District, which includes Brighton Beach, Manhattan Beach, Marine Park, Midwood and Sheepshead Bay. Saperstein is challenging incumbent Chaim Deutch for the City Council seat. Deutch has held the position since 2014.
Saperstein was born in Brooklyn and grew up in Sheepshead Bay and Brighton Beach. His grandparents, Milton and Florence, were among the first residents of Trump Village in the 1960s, and his wife Elina emigrated from the former Soviet Union with her family in 1989. They are the parents of a newborn daughter.
Saperstein wants his daughter Rebecca to grow up in a New York where she can ride the subway safely, get a good education and have a career and family of her own, he said. Saperstein decided that the best way to guarantee his daughter that future was to run for the City Council.

While Brooklyn has become the epitome of ‘cool and hip’ in recent years, for those that were born here, raised families here and improved communities over the years, Brooklyn has never been ‘uncool’.
