Brannan blasted by Republican opponent following negative NY Post article
Councilmember Justin Brannan responded to a New York Post article about his driving record earlier this week, saying he takes responsibility for his several driving violations that were reported.
“Although I was driving much more than normal during the pandemic, there’s no excuse and I take full responsibility,” Brannan told the Post. “All of us who use cars need to slow down, be more aware, and do better to keep our streets safe. I continue to support expanding cameras in school zones, and will take this opportunity to improve my own behavior when I’m behind the wheel.”
However Brian Fox, the Republican candidate in the 43rd City Council district – which includes Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst and Bath Beach – used the story as a theme for a scathing and dramatic press conference held in front of Brannan’s office July 21.
