48th City Council District candidate David Storobin sounds off
Former State Senator David Storobin is running on the Republican ticket for City Council in the 48th District, representing parts of Coney Island, Gravesend, Brighton Beach, Manhattan Beach and Midwood. He attended the Brooklyn Real Estate Board forum, held at the Dyker Beach Golf Club on Wednesday, October 2.
The 34-year-old attorney is running against Democrat Chaim Deutsch for outgoing Councilmember Michael Nelson’s seat. Deutsch, the president and founder of the Flatbush Shomrim Safety Patrol and a longtime community liaison for Nelson, did not attend the forum, so Storobin got the floor to himself.
“I came to the U.S. 22 years ago with a single mother. My first way to make money was collecting cans at the 18th Avenue Festival,” he said.
