Candidate: New York City Council / District 01

Elizabeth Lewinsohn (D)

Candidate Site

Elizabeth Lewinsohn is a lifelong New Yorker, mother, and experienced public servant running for City Council District 1. She served as director of Policy and Plans for the NYPD’s Counterterrorism Bureau, developing strategies to keep New Yorkers safe. Now raising her family in Lower Manhattan, she brings that same dedication to local leadership—as chair of Gotham Park, where she opened new green space at the Brooklyn Bridge, and through twelve years on Community Board 1. Lizzie is running to deliver what every neighborhood deserves: safe streets, affordable housing, and a City Council Member who listens and gets things done.

Incumbent council member Christopher Marte is facing a primary challenge from Jess Coleman, Elizabeth Lewinsohn and Eric Yu
