He has become a leading advocate for education, affordable housing, public health, sustainable development and transportation improvements and safety.
Join us as he fights on behalf of New Yorkers in his campaign for Manhattan Borough President to finish what he's begun.
Below is a re-post of my City Council office's government newsletter. The original can be found here.
Dear Neighbor,
Last month, we announced another $80 million for the Esplanade, this time for John Finley Walk, after fighting for this funding alongside Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney as co-chairs of the East River Esplanade. This brings the total funding we’ve secured to well over half a billion dollars to rebuild our waterfront park.
This July, please join us for the return of NY Classical Theatre’s Shakespeare in the Park with performances of King Lear in Carl Schurz Park. This 4th of July I hope to celebrate our independence as a nation and from this virus.
We’re changing up our newsletter format to be shorter and more concise and welcome your feedback. If you missed our newsletters, you can catch up on the April, May, June newsletters at BenKallos.com/newsletters
