Kings County GOP coalition endorses Bob Capano
City Council Candidate Receives Support from Grass-Roots Organization
Bob Capano, candidate for Brooklyn’s 43rd Council District (Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Bath Beach, Bensonhurst) has been endorsed by the Kings County GOP Coalition. The group is made up of Brooklyn Republican state committee members, community leaders and grass-roots GOP activists.
Capano, who manages a Gristedes supermarket in Manhattan and teaches political science at John Jay College, is one of three Republicans seeking the City Council seat held by Vincent Gentile, who is leaving due to term limits. The other candidates in the crowded field are John Quaglione and Liam McCabe. The Democratic challengers are Justin Brannan, Rev. Khader El-Yateem, Kevin Peter Carroll and Nancy Tong.
The Kings County GOP Coalition, not to be confused with the Brooklyn Republican Party, is an organization that is looking to grow the party in Brooklyn. According to Capano, “The group does not care about politics as usual or the status quo. They just want to make a difference.”
