Ari Kagan has officially declared his candidacy for the Republican nomination in Brooklyn's 48th District, setting up a primary fight against incumbent Inna Vernikov. Despite her seeking re-election, Kagan is motivated by community support and aims to leverage his government experience to resolve local issues. He is gathering signatures to qualify for the primary ballot and refutes claims that he is disparaging Vernikov. Vernikov has publicly challenged Kagan's claims, suggesting he is misleading voters about the nature of his candidacy.
After serious consideration and with strong encouragement from many community leaders, I have decided to enter the race for the Republican nomination in the 48th Council District.
I'm not mentioning her name in any way, shape, or form at the doors at all. I'm just saying who I am. People know me.
I am being told by community members that my 'Republican' want-to-be opponent, Ari Kagan, is telling people he is NOT running against me when he is asking them to sign a petition.
