Brook-Krasny, Lilikakis clash at Dyker forum
All was not sweetness and light as Democratic Assemblymember Alec-Brook Krasny and his Republican challenger, Stamatis Lilikakis, tangled during the annual candidate’s forum presented by the Dyker Heights Civic Association.
The encounter took place in front of a standing-room-only crowd at St. Philip’s Parish Hall, 80th Street and 11th Avenue, during the group’s monthly meeting, Tuesday, October 14. The 46th Assembly District, which Brook-Krasny has represented since 2007) covers portions of Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst, Gravesend, Coney Island, Seagate and Brighton Beach.
It got so heated that, at one point, Brook-Krasny told Lilikakis that the Republican candidate had helped him make up his mind about matching-fund legislation that would help candidates run competitive campaigns.
