City Council Member Keith Powers is a lifelong resident of Manhattan, born and raised in Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village – where he lives today. He has been serving the East Side of Manhattan since 2018.

 

During his time in the City Council, Keith has authored and passed legislation to convert the city vehicle fleet to electric vehicles, protect animal welfare against cruel conditions, prevent housing discrimination, strengthen the noise code, tackle e-bike fires, expand mental health beds in the five boroughs, and end the scourge of scaffolding in Manhattan.
