Woohooo! The Court of Appeals Ruled Against the New District Maps That Andrew Gounardes Voted In Favor Of
Bay Ridge – Wooohooooooooooo!
The Court of Appeals threw out the gerrymandered maps that NYS Senator Andrew Gounardes voted in favor of. (Story here)
Gounardes went on Twitter today and blamed Republicans (no I am not kidding – see here)
Andrew Gounardes had the ability to put fair district maps in our area, but he didn’t because he wanted to choose his voters. Today he should have acknowledge his mistake and apologized for voting for those maps!
This is the current district map:
This is what Andrew thought was fair for him so he could win:
Gounardes voted in favor of the district map below, so Max Rose would get more Democrats from Park Slope.
Rose should go to Park Slope and win there (Brad Lander and Bill de Blasio did – so he can too.)
If you have a child from 8 – 17, they will be voting in this district before it is changes again (with the next census).
Andrew Gounardes wanted to control the seat, rather than let those who aren’t jaded by the system, have a fair shot at creating a better life.
Many Democrats are with the other Democrat, Britney and Republicans, Conservatives and Conservative Democrats are with Malliotakis.
Rose campaigned in Park Slope, so he should move to that neighborhood and play them! If Bill de Blasio and Brad Lander can win there, Rose can win there too.
If only Andrew Gounardes made a fair district, this never would have happened.
We are glad Brooklyn has a chance at fair districts!
Hugs,

Oh I’m loving watching Andrew melt down. Let’s call it what it is, he barely won in 2018 and 2020. His “gains” as him and Brannon claimed in 2020 were minimal and was mainly due to larger turnout overall due to a presidential year. In fact, considering the current SD-22 is 2:1 Democratic to Republican the fact he didn’t blow Vito Bruno out of the water is a clear sign he isn’t well liked.
Enter redistricting, he felt safe and secure in his new district. Turning his back on Marine Park and other areas that no longer pertained to him anymore, or so he thought. Andrew is in big trouble if his new district looks anything like his current district. He burnt a lot of bridges, and where’s the property tax reform he promised in 2018?
