This week, Democrat Justin Brannan and Republican Ari Kagan, who are running for a City Council seat in Brooklyn, squared off in a debate that took place during an episode of "Inside City Hall." Brannan and Kagan currently represent adjoining districts but are competing for the newly redrawn District 47, which runs from Bay Ridge to Coney Island.
With early voting beginning this Saturday, Oct. 28, and Election Day just around the corner, host Errol Louis was joined by the publisher and editor of Bklyner, Liena Zagare, to talk about the unique race between incumbents, and the twists and turns that have occurred along the way. They also discussed the highlights of the debate, and shared their opinions on who fared better overall. The debate can be heard in its entirety in the episode.
