Brook-Krasny, Lilikakis demonstrate clear difference in approach
A political newcomer is aiming to replace four-term Democratic Assemblymember Alec Brook-Krasny, who represents the peculiarly shaped district comprising Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights on one end and Brighton Beach, Coney Island and Seagate on the other, connected basically by the Belt Parkway.
Stamatis Lilikakis, the Republican-Conservative candidate for the post, came up against the veteran legislator at a candidates forum, the Great Bay Ridge Debate, hosted by the Bay Ridge Community Council at Our Lady of Angels, Third Avenue and 73rd Street, on Tuesday, September 23.
Brook-Krasny, for his part, said he was, “Looking to be rehired by the people.” Unlike many of those who serve in Albany, he pointed out, “I have been a full-time assemblyman and I will continue to be a full-time assemblyman,” representing the very different sides of the district.
