Council member Linda Lee was inaugurated into her position Sunday, April 3, at Queensborough Community College’s Student Union. Lee, a Democrat, now represents District 23 after emerging victorious among seven other candidates in the Democratic primaries last June and the general election in November.
Lee, along with Council member Julie Won of District 26, is the first Korean American woman elected to New York City Council. She is the first woman of color to hold office in District 23.
