Kayla Santosuosso handily won the Democratic primary for City Council District 47 Tuesday night, solidifying her spot on the November ballot in the race to succeed outgoing Council Member Justin Brannan. Meanwhile, the Republican primary remained too close to call.
Santosuosso, an attorney, community organizer, and Brannan’s former chief counsel, declared victory shortly after polls closed, thanking supporters for turning out across South Brooklyn and doubling down on her promise to be a voice for working families.
