John,

Over the weekend, New Yorkers headed to the polls and began early voting for the June 27th NYC Council primary election. The last day of Early Voting is on Sunday, June 25th. 

Registered New York voters should confirm their early voting site as it may differ from their usual Election Day location.

Once again, New York has become the focal point of groundbreaking events, particularly regarding the arrival of asylum seekers. Mayoral leadership has sought to house these newly arrived immigrants in jails and school gyms amongst other ill-equipped and poorly located areas of the city. These actions have been met by a NYC Council who have voiced their disapproval and called for more permanent solutions to easing the shelter and affordability crisis in New York City.

It's up to you to elect officials who are going to fight for every New Yorker! We can create a more inclusive city by voting with our values. See the candidates on your ballot and learn more about ranked choice voting before you head to the polls.
