Rock-n-roller recalls ‘Eureka’ moment that turned him into a Democrat
Justin Brannan never thought of himself as particularly political when he was a young rocker touring the country with his hardcore rock bands Indecision and Most Precious Blood. On his voting registration card, “I was registered as a ‘blank’ for years,” he said. “Then one day I had a “Eureka!’ moment when it all clicked.” From that moment on, he was a Democrat. These days, he is president of the Bay Ridge Democrats, a 150-member political club which works to get Democrats elected to public office.
But it took a “eureka” moment to push Brannan in that direction.
“I got my start as an animal welfare activist in the underground music scene of New York City,” he told the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
