Republican candidate Brian Fox is leading incumbent City Councilmember Justin Brannan by 255 votes for the District 43 city council seat as of last night’s unofficial election results — though the district is still waiting for at least 1,456 returned absentee ballots to be counted in the coming days.
“We are feeling phenomenal, I mean it is just a great feeling here, we had confidence all along, you know we got a lot of great feedback from our polling throughout the entire campaign,” Liam McCabe, Fox’s campaign spokesperson told Brooklyn Paper. “We knew the numbers were there and we were just patient and waited for them to come and they came in the way we thought they were going to come in.”
