Justin Brannan’s Endorsements Are From Three Politicians Brooklyn Voted Out of Office!
LOL Why would an experienced politician put out a graphic like this?
Hey Brooklyn, you voted out Max Rose, Iwen Chu and Peter Abbate. They think I am great – vote for me!
Marty Markowitz and Joan Millman haven’t been in politics for over a decade!
Brannan used to put Brad Lander on his flyers, but it looks like Brannan is supporting a different candidate for Mayor!
The press release today said that Chris McCreight endorsed Justin Brannan. Chris McCreight lost his election in November, After McCreight lost he went to Puerto Rico. He used money that was matched by Campaign Finance to pay for the hotel.
Chris McCreight is Justin Brannan’s chief-of-staff and wants Brannan to win so he still has a job.

Robbers Entered Home on 80th Street and Ridge Blvd. While The Family Were Sleeping
Between 3:30 and 4:00 am this morning, two thieves entered a home on 80th Street and Ridge Blvd in Bay Ridge. They popped a locked window to get in. The family was asleep.
Two burglars plus their getaway driver were noticed driving up and down Ridge Blvd suspiciously back and forth as early as 1:00 am. This car was seen on the block at 3:30 am parked at the hydrant. The driver sat in the vehicle, while two men got out with flashlights and looked for an entry into the home. They went to the backyard first. When they found everything was locked, they took the screen off and popped the lock on a window from the outside.
The thieves grabbed purses and jackets. They were hunting for car keys as the saw high end cars parked in the driveway. (During the Summer, another Bay Ridge family had thieves enter their home and steal car keys).
Thank God the family is okay – the children remained asleep. The husband was hurt a little, but he is okay.
The thieves ran out of the house and drove away into a dark vehicle.
The home alarm system was not on – turn on your alarms, Bay Ridge. They shared what happened because they want us to do what we can to secure our homes.
They gave these suggestions:
-As a neighborhood we should all install security cameras pointing at the street with high quality video (good idea)
-Get a signal blocker box for your car keys
-Install better security around the house, set your alarm system
-If you have average window locks as we did, consider jamming it closed at night with books or pieces of wood
-If you see suspicious activity please call the police. The NYPD 68th Precinct practically teleported to our front door right after we called.
-Keep valuables hidden and locked away, don’t leave car keys in easily accessible drawers close to the entrance
