With two weeks to go until the Democratic primary, Councilman Daniel Dromm has endorsed Council candidate Shekar Krishnan to represent District 25, which he represented for 12 years.
Dromm emphasized his history working with Krishnan on local advocacy issues and shared vision for the district, which includes Jackson Heights and Elmhurst, as the inspiration for his support.
“I have closely worked with Shekar on many important community initiatives like creating Diversity Plaza, expanding Travers Park, and fighting for Elmhurst Hospital,” Dromm said. “He is the best candidate to represent our community because he has the vision and the experience to be a leader who unites us all.”
Dromm, who reaches the term limit of his tenure on the City Council this year, leaves behind a progressive legacy that includes his work to create the IDNYC program and, as a public school teacher at P.S. 199 in Sunnyside earlier in his career, his advocacy for New York students and educators.
