Gounardes Campaign Lit Drop Raises Eyebrows at CEC Meeting
An overeager campaign worker landed Democratic State Senate candidate Andrew Gounardes in hot water as the bitter race between Gounardes and incumbent Republican Marty Golden entered its final weeks.
Controversy erupted at an Oct. 17 meeting of the District 20 Community Education Council (CEC) at Dyker Heights Intermediate School, where the Gounardes campaign staffer was violating rules by distributing campaign literature on the candidate’s behalf prior to the start of the session, according to a parent who attended the session.
“One of the school workers had to come and stop him,” the parent wrote in a Facebook post.
