Council Member Julie Won officially launched her campaign to succeed U.S. Rep. Nydia Velázquez in New York’s 7th Congressional District (NY-7) Sunday night, picking up endorsements from a number of endorsements from city and state officials.
Won, who announced her campaign at the beginning of February, drew over 250 community members to her official launch party at the Midnight event space in Long Island City Sunday night, which featured a performance by Korean drummers to mark Won’s attempt to become the first Korean-American ever elected to Congress in New York State history.
