Biography
Alec Brook-Krasny is the Republican and Conservative Party member of the New York State Assembly from District 46, which covers Brighton Beach, Coney Island, Bay Ridge, Sea Gate, and Dyker Heights in Brooklyn, and lost re-election on November 3, 2026 to Chris McCreight. Born in Moscow, he emigrated to Brooklyn, became a business owner and community-board member, and served in the Assembly from 2007 to 2015 before returning after the 2022 election. His official biography says he ran to restore funding to the NYPD, reverse bail reform, and support schools, small businesses, and the middle class.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Brook-Krasny was born in Moscow to a shoemaker and a bookkeeper and earned dual degrees in Engineering and Economics from the Moscow Technological Institute.[3][1] Ballotpedia also lists a graduate degree from the Columbia University Graduate School of Business.[2] He emigrated to Brooklyn speaking limited English and worked as a stockperson, then manager, at an East Village shoe store in Manhattan.[3][1] He later founded Fun-O-Rama, a children's entertainment and community center in Coney Island, and was named 'Entrepreneur of the Year' by Leisure and Entertainment magazine in 1997.[3] He served on NYC Community Board 13, later as its treasurer, and founded the Council of Jewish Émigré Community Organizations (COJECO).[3]
Brook-Krasny ran for the Assembly in 2000, setting a record for write-in votes in New York City according to his campaign website, and ran unsuccessfully for New York City Council in 2001.[3][2] He was elected to the Assembly in 2006 and served until 2015, representing Coney Island, Bay Ridge, and Dyker Heights; his official biography says he left in 2015 for family reasons.[1][2] It lists past committee service including Aging, Cities, Governmental Employees, Housing, and Social Services, and says he was named Vice-Chair for Majority Steering and Chair of the Assembly Task Force for New Americans in 2013.[1]
He returned to the Assembly after defeating Democratic incumbent Mathylde Frontus in November 2022, 51.9% to 47.9%, and won re-election in 2024 over Chris McCreight, 51.6% to 48.0%.[2][1] His current committee assignments, as listed on the Assembly website, are Aging; Alcoholism and Drug Abuse; Cities; Economic Development, Job Creation, Commerce and Industry; Election Law; and Housing, plus the Puerto Rican/Hispanic Task Force.[9] He lost to Chris McCreight, according to unofficial results reported by Wikipedia and City & State.[4][5][6]
