Justin Brannan, a moderate Democrat and NYC councilman, aims for the citywide comptroller position while courting far-left support, raising concerns among Jewish leaders. His past balancing act between Jewish and Arab-American voters, particularly regarding Israel and Gaza, has been questioned with his new affiliations. Observers note this shift could conflict with Brannan's earlier centrism and growing antisemitism. While Brannan maintains his previous rhetoric, activists speculate about his future positions, leading to unease within the Jewish community, especially post-Hamas attacks.
Justin is building the broadest coalition in this race and what it comes down to is his actions; no Jewish leader has ever had to look back and check how he is voting.
Some Jewish community activists who have privately confronted him about his endorsements from far-left figures have stirred growing speculation over his continued commitment to key issues.
