Candidate: New York City Council / District 01

Eric Yu (D)

Candidate Site

Eric Yu will bring a fresh perspective, and ensure NYC government works for all of Lower Manhattan. He is a member of Community Board 1, and was vice president and treasurer of his cooperative’s Board of Directors. He is the only working-class candidate – a former union member, a NYC Transit employee, and a military veteran. He understands the challenges people face, and wants NYC government to work efficiently and effectively, instead of only creating more regulations and fines. His platform is built on public safety (enforcement of existing laws), economic vitality, and a back-to-basics focus on city services.
