A huge thank you to all of our members who donated to our historic fundraiser and participated in our endorsement process. We raised over $11,000 and could not have done this without YOUR support. These resources will be essential in helping us support our candidates to the finish line in the primary (which is almost 2 weeks away!)

Endorsement Update
With that in mind, the board has made an executive decision to adjust our endorsed slate. Given Jessica Ramos' recent endorsement of Andrew Cuomo, we have determined that she no longer represents our club's values. Endorsing a frontrunner opponent and aligning with his platform, Senator Ramos has effectively ended her own candidacy and role in the competitive phase of this mayoral primary, shifting the political dynamics and rendering her continued presence on BYD’s endorsement slate functionally obsolete. The executive board recommends you still rank the top 4 until we resolve the slate change to the 5th following a membership vote.
We ask that the members of BYD read the following proposed amendments in order to adopt the proposed changes to the endorsement slate. Amendment votes will happen after the June 17th general body meeting.
Join Brooklyn Young Democrats at a debate watch party this Thursday June 12th from 6:30-9pm at Ginger's Bar in Park Slope, located at 363 5th Ave Brooklyn, NY 11215.
