Facing a tough primary, anti-Israel Councilmember Shahana Hanif is desperately scrubbing her website of radical positions—like defunding the police and abolishing prisons. After years of alienating Jewish constituents and ignoring public safety, she’s now rewriting history to survive a credible challenge from pragmatic Democrat Maya Kornberg.

Council Member Shahana Hanif continues to alienate constituents with her refusal to condemn Hamas and her inflammatory rhetoric, stoking division in a diverse Brooklyn district. In sharp contrast, Maya Kornberg offers pragmatic, unifying leadership focused on safety, accountability, and real results—values that resonate deeply with voters exhausted by Hanif’s extremism.
