Chris McCreight, chief of staff to Democratic City Council Member Justin Brannan, announced on Monday he is challenging Republican Assemblymember Alec Brook-Krasny for his southern Brooklyn seat in this year’s general election.
McCreight wants to flip the district — Assembly District 46 — back to blue after it went Republican red in 2022 with Brook-Krasny’s win over former Democratic Assemblymember Mathylde Frontus. The district stretches from Bay Ridge to Brighton Beach and covers other neighborhoods including Dyker Heights, Bath Beach and Coney Island.
