Exclusive | Democratic Socialist NYC Councilwoman Tiffany Caban hosting fundraiser for Justin Brannan in comptroller's race
Briefly

Justin Brannan, a candidate for comptroller, is hosting a campaign fundraiser with Tiffany Caban, a prominent Democratic Socialist known for anti-Israel sentiments. Caban has actively supported Palestinian causes and gained attention for her statements during Pride Month. Despite Brannan's alignments with leftist figures, rival candidate Mark Levine claims a significant lead in polling for the Democratic primary. Levine’s internal poll shows him at 33% compared to Brannan's 14%. This situation reflects the increasing tensions surrounding political identities and the implications for the upcoming elections.
Caban has been a frequent critic of the Jewish nation, declaring that 'queer liberation means Free Palestine!' during a Pride Month celebration.
Brannan's campaign received two donations totaling $500 from Linda Sarsour, a longtime advocate of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel.
Levine claims he’s on track to trounce Councilman Brannan in the Democratic primary for comptroller, leading 33% to 14% in an internal poll.
The meet and greet in Sunnyside refers to Brannan as the 'Working People's Bulldog,' highlighting his support from the left-leaning Working Families Party.
