This week the Independence Party officially announced its endorsement of former Republican State Senator David Storobin for the 48th City Council District in Brooklyn.
Storobin adds the Independence Party endorsement to official endorsements by the Conservative, School Choice and Republican Parties, positioning him strongly for the open seat in south Brooklyn being vacated by Democrat Michael Nelson who is term-limited. Storobin is the only candidate in a crowded field that includes at least five Democrats to pick up multiple party endorsements.
“I am truly honored to receive such strong support very early on in the race,” said Storobin. “I want to thank the Conservative and Independence Parties for their endorsements, particularly Kings County Conservative Chairman Jerry Kassar, State Conservative Chairman Mike Long, and State Independence Party Chairman Frank McKay. I will do my very best to earn their support.”
Storobin’s private sector experience as a successful attorney and small business employer, and his impressive legislative record amassed over just one year in the State Senate, make him the ideal candidate to represent the diverse neighborhoods of the 48th Council District and the clear choice to deliver for the people of Brooklyn.
Chairman of the New York State Independence Party, Frank McKay, lauded the endorsement saying, “David Storobin has proven to be an independent voice who’s not afraid to stand up to the special interests in defense of his constituents. As Senator, he’s proven that whatever he promises on the campaign trail, he will do once he gets elected.”
As a State Senator, Storobin sponsored 42 bills to promote job growth, lower taxes, help small business, and improve education. He has also spent the past decade as a strong community advocate, primarily for the district’s heavily Russian and Jewish populations.
The 48th Council District covers Brighton Beach, Manhattan Beach, Midwood and Sheepshead Bay.

For the Jewish population????? HAHAHAHA!!!!!
Remember if Chaim Deutsch gets past the Primary Election he will be running against David Storobin.
This reads like a Storobin press release. Starobin was not known as an advocate for the community prior to his run for State Senate, melely as a lawyer representing many undesirables. He may have introduced large numbers of bills, but since he served only a couple of weeks before session adjournment none of his bills could have passed. The bills were introduced as a campaign ploy.
In November he will be running against a lifelong member of our community, Chaim Deutsch.
