The New York Young Republican Club is proud to endorse George Sarantopoulos for New York City Council, District 47. A lifelong New Yorker and proud Bay Ridge resident, George brings unmatched real-world experience to the fight for our city—experience forged over decades in business, public service, and grassroots leadership.
From launching a small restaurant to building a financial services company that now operates in 36 states, George Sarantopoulos is a builder of businesses, of coalitions, and of community. He understands what it takes to create jobs, cut through red tape, and push back against the crushing weight of bureaucracy. As Chairman Emeritus of a national trade association, George gave voice to thousands of entrepreneurs across America, championing policies rooted in opportunity and accountability. Closer to home, he served as Communications Director with the New York State Assembly and has helped lead local and state campaigns aimed at restoring common sense to government. Unlike many career politicians, George knows firsthand the stakes of every City Council decision for working families and small business owners.
George isn’t running to climb a political ladder. He’s running to defend the values that make Bay Ridge and all of Brooklyn worth fighting for: safety, sanity, and self-determination. With his wife Heidi, their daughter, and their loyal bulldog Zeus, George has called Bay Ridge home for over 20 years. He’s doesn’t just live in the district, he is the district.
The New York Young Republican Club proudly supports George Sarantopoulos for City Council, District 47. We urge all patriots in Bay Ridge, Coney Island, Bath Beach, Sea Gate and Dyker Heights to stand with a true leader who will fight for our neighborhoods, our freedoms, and our future. Vote George Sarantopoulos in the upcoming Republican primary. Let’s put District 47 in Republican hands we can trust.
