Coney Island Political Feud Divides City Council Race
A bitter political rivalry between two Coney Island elected officials is making waves in the neighborhood’s City Council contest.
On Friday, Council Member Mark Treyger accused Assembly Member Mathylde Frontus’ political club of having repeatedly “smeared” him and a staffer running to replace him. Frontus’ club, meanwhile, says Treyger’s comments are “intellectually dishonest and grossly misleading.”
The back and forth was the most public display of a longstanding political feud that has been an open secret in southern Brooklyn’s political scene since Frontus narrowly beat former Treyger staffer Ethan Lustig-Elgrably in the 2018 race for her seat. The continuing acrimony has split civically-engaged residents into opposing camps that have backed competing candidates in the race to represent Council District 47.
