   Kayla for Council

   Meet Kayla Santosuosso, who’s running for City Council in Bay Ridge. Our councilmember is our most important local elected official. Handling quality-of-life issues for the neighborhood, they are our advocate in city government and budgeting. And for the first time in nearly eight years, there is an open election with no incumbent. Our current Councilmember, Justin Brannan, is term-limited and can’t seek re-election. So Kayla, a longtime neighborhood activist, small-business owner, and friend of the podcast, has jumped into the race. Join us as Kayla discusses some of her interests, goes through her lengthy qualifications, and gives a few hints at what she has planned for Bay Ridge if she wins the primary in June and the General Election in November.
