Bay Ridge Democrats revel in perfect record
Political club went 5 for 5 in picking election winners
Justin Brannan should buy himself a lottery ticket! He certainly has a knack for picking winners.
Brannan, president of the Bay Ridge Democrats, an upstart political club in Brooklyn, is riding high these days, looking forward to the inauguration of Bill de Blasio as New York City’s next mayor. Brannan and his club members showed themselves to be clairvoyant, endorsing de Blasio way back in April, long before the public advocate became the front runner in the contest for City Hall.
In fact, when the Bay Ridge Democrats bestowed their blessing on de Blasio, he was stuck at 10 percent in the polls and didn’t look like he was going anywhere. “We were the first club in Brooklyn to endorse him. And we were one of the first clubs in the city to back him,” Brannan told the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
