Brannan (D) earns support from Southeast Queens lawmakers ahead of comptroller primary

City Council Member and comptroller candidate Justin Brannan has secured a slate of endorsements from Southeast Queens elected officials, adding momentum to his bid ahead of the June 24 Democratic primary.

In a joint statement released in late March, the coalition, including State Senators Leroy Comrie and James Sanders Jr., Assembly Member Khaleel M. Anderson, and Council Members Nantasha Williams and Selvena Brooks-Powers—praised Brannan as a leader with a proven track record of advocating for working families and outer-borough communities.

“As Black elected officials, we are taking a bold step in endorsing candidates who truly understand our communities,” the statement read. “Our city faces serious challenges—including a possible national recession—and we need strong, experienced leadership to guide us through. That’s why we are proud to endorse Justin Brannan for Comptroller.”

The Southeast Queens delegation emphasized Brannan’s role in ensuring public funds are managed responsibly. “Justin has a proven track record of fighting for working families, speaking truth to power, and ensuring our hard-earned tax dollars are invested wisely. At a time when so much is at stake, Justin Brannan is the leader New York City needs to protect our communities and secure a better future for all.”
