Meet Congressional hopeful Lutchi Gayot, a lifelong East Flatbush resident, son of Haitian immigrants and a Republican in a staunchly Democratic district and borough.

Gayot is challenging the winner of the Democratic Primary between incumbent U.S. Rep. Yvettte Clarke and challenger Adem  Bunkeddeko for the right to represent New York’s 9th Congressional District covering Crown Heights, East Flatbush, Flatbush, Brownsville, Midwood and Sheepshead Bay.

“Yes, I am running under the Republican line. The Kings County GOP gave me a platform, which I appreciate. But I’m still an American and I’m still me,” said Gayot, speaking with KCP as he walked through the East Flatbush neighborhood he grew up in and still calls home.

Gayot, a small business owner for the past 20 years in the construction industry, said the time is up for partisan politics infighting. 

“We have a government that’s failing the people,” said Gayot. “The government is not doing what we’re sending them to Washington D.C. to do. Instead what they’re doing is fighting back and forth. Us here on the ground, we’re watching them. And they’re really wasting our time. “
