Brooklyn Republican Party holds first City Council debate
Bob Capano, Liam McCabe and John Quaglione Address the Issues in Bay Ridge
The Brooklyn Republican Party hosted the first Republican City Council debate spotlighting the three GOP candidates running for the City Council seat on Thursday. The event organizers were Brooklyn GOP Executive Chairman Ted Ghorra, Vice Chairman Brian Doherty and the Brooklyn Teen Republican Club and its president, Batya Goldberg. They welcomed a packed house of attendees to the Bay Ridge Manor at 476 76th St.
Bob Capano, Liam McCabe and John Quaglione are the Republicans running for the seat in the 43rd Council District (Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Bensonhurst) to succeed Vincent Gentile, a Democrat who has held the council seat since 2003 but who is term-limited and cannot run for re-election this year.
The Democrats running in the Democratic primary, also set for Sept. 12, are Justin Brannan, Kevin Peter Carroll, Rev. Khader El-Yateem and Nancy Tong.
