Athena Clarke, a former New York City tenured teacher terminated without due process for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine, is running for City Council in District 46.

Her aim is to restore personal freedoms, curb government overreach, and prioritize the rights of hardworking New Yorkers from the local level.
