Candidate: New York City Council / District 08

Elsie Encarnacion (D)

District 8 is not only Elsie Encarnacion’s home; it is the foundation of her values and her commitment to public service. Throughout her career in education, government, and the nonprofit sector, she has worked tirelessly to advance meaningful change. Having personally experienced the challenges many New Yorkers face: rising housing costs, underfunded schools, and economic insecurity, she understands the importance of standing with her neighbors, advocating for equitable solutions, and ensuring that every voice is heard. For Elsie, this district is her life’s work, a community she is dedicated to strengthening until every family feels empowered and secure.

Following seven rounds of ranked choice voting, Chief of Staff to Deputy Speaker Diana Ayala, who is term-limited, won the democratic primary to represent district 08 on the New York City Council.
