"It's said that every vote counts. This is particularly true of a number of City Council races in New York City on Sept. 15, when a few hundred votes could determine who will occupy a front-row seat in city government. Here are our endorsements for several of the most competitive districts where winning the Democratic primary usually means capturing the seat:
District 25, Queens (Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Corona): This is now one of the city's most diverse districts. Though Councilwoman Helen Sears has made efforts to expand her services, the district deserves more energetic representation. Daniel Dromm, a public schoolteacher and activist, is ready to take on the area's needs -- mainly too few schools and health facilities. We endorse Mr. Dromm."

You can make every vote count. With only a one week until primary day, you can help bring change to our community.
We have volunteer shifts to fill throughout the final days before the primary -- make calls, knock on doors, and make sure your fellow voters get to the polls.
No previous experience is required.
Sign up now to take the day off and make history on
