Former New York City Council Member Ari Kagan is eyeing a possible political comeback this election season as Brooklyn’s Republican officials look to engage in a series of seat swaps between city and state government.
Reports earlier this month indicated that Kagan, who switched from the Democratic to the Republican Party in 2022, has filed a committee to run for the District 48 City Council seat, currently held by Council Member Inna Vernikov, neighboring his former district.
