Yassky, Gounardes face off in Dem. primary race
Redistricting Puts Two Veteran Pols at Odds
Former City Councilmember David Yassky will be challenging State Sen. Andrew Gounardes, who currently represents the 22nd State Senate District, in this month’s Democratic primary election for the newly drawn 26th State Senate District.
As a result of the recent official redistricting, the 26th District includes parts of several neighborhoods, including Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Sunset Park, DUMBO, Brooklyn Heights, Boerum Hill, Vinegar Hill, Cobble Hill, Carroll Garden, Gowanus, Red Hook, Park Slope and Fort Greene.
