The Sky Wise Lounge in Sheepshead Bay was the site of a jubilant celebration late last month as Assembly Member Michael Novakhov marked his re-election for District 45. The standing-room-only event brought together community leaders, elected officials, activists, performers, and South Brooklyn residents.
Novakhov’s second term comes on the heels of a tight election, which he narrowly won over Democratic challenger Joey Cohen-Saban. On election night, just 270 votes separated the two candidates, but the incumbent ultimately pulled ahead to secure his seat.
