Kagan currently represents the 47th District, which also includes portions of Coney Island, Gravesend and Sea Gate. Bensonhurst Councilman Ari Kagan is seeking to capitalize on the GOP’s sudden outer-borough momentum.Many of those neighborhoods have been redrawn into a new district, in which Republican Curtis Sliwa narrowly edged Mayor Eric Adams in the 2021 election.
