Republicans are primed to win the new “Asian opportunity” Council district in southern Brooklyn — even though it was carved out by a Dem-controlled commission.
Council district – covering Bensonhurst, New Utrecht, and parts of Dyker Heights and Sunset Park — is currently 54% Asian,Although 52% of its registered voters are Democrat compared to 14% Republican, voters there overwhelming backed Republican Curtis Sliwa over eventual winner Adams in the 2021 mayoral race, by 60-35% margin.In the last year, 457 new voters registered in the district as Republican, compared to 142 Democrats.
“Democrats are fooling themselves if they presume they’ll just show up and win this race,” said Hank Shienkopf, a longtime Democratic political consultant. The restricting commission recommended the City Council vote last year to set aside the new district while remaking political boundaries citywide.
Sunset Park in Brooklyn will be part of the new Asian majority City Council district and is also home to the annual Luna New Year parade.Chingkit “Jack” Ho, who is Chang’s community liaison director and is endorsed by Brooklyn’s Republican and Conservative parties, is slated to compete in the district’s June GOP primary against community activist Ying Tan.
