It’s time to take the fight to Trump
Why I’m Running
I’m Maya and I’m running for City Council in District 39 (which includes Park Slope, Windsor Terrace, Kensington, Borough Park, Gowanus, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Boerum Hill, and the Columbia Waterfront) because I want a district where everyone can feel happy, safe, and thrive! With the Trump presidency looming, local governance is more important than ever. The City Council is our last line of defense. It is time to come together and focus on building consensus and driving progressive change in New York City.
I am committed to creating a greener district with sustainable, safer, and more accessible transportation options and more affordable housing. As a parent, I am passionate about expanding access to affordable childcare and great schools in our district and throughout the city. My experience working to stop political violence equips me to champion policies that promote safety and sustainability for our community. I’ve spent my career trying to make democracy work better, and I believe we deserve more responsive leadership and a City Council Member who centers constituent services and delivers meaningful change.
My roles as a college professor, advocate, and political scientist have taught me that the key to making change is going out and doing it. So let’s make this community better together!
Chip in today!
I’m not taking contributions from corporate PACs, lobbyists, or real estate developers. Instead, I’m relying on grassroots donors like you to power this campaign.
