With graduations, summer travel, and year-end events fast approaching, voters are urged to make a plan now to participate in New York City’s June 24 Democratic Primary. Early Mail Ballots—formerly known as Absentee Ballots—are now available for request. Any voter who will be away during Early Voting (June 14–22) or on Primary Day can request a ballot and vote by mail. The process is easier than ever, with the NYC Board of Elections offering ballot tracking tools to ensure your vote is counted. Voting options include in-person voting during the nine-day Early Voting period, voting by mail, or casting a ballot on Election Day.
Mayoral hopeful Brad Lander is dodging the District 39 race amid growing backlash over Hanif’s weak response to antisemitism within her district. His silence speaks volumes as Jewish voters demand accountability—and Hanif's support erodes under pressure from her own progressive base.
The surge of nearly 7,000 newly registered Democrats is a game-changer in the effort to unseat Council Member Hanif and others. Voters are mobilized, energized, and ready to hold extremists accountable at the ballot box. The previously silent majority is no longer silent—and it’s ready to take action at the polls.
Council Member Shahana Hanif funneled over $149K in taxpayer funds to nonprofits tied to her husband—without disclosing conflicts of interest. This pattern of self-dealing is unethical and unacceptable #EthicsMatter
Facing a tough primary challenge, Council Member Shahana Hanif is suddenly scrambling to appear pro-Jewish—after silence about Hamas and hostility toward her Jewish constituents. Voters see through the pandering.
Ling Ye, an Asian immigrant and former aide to Rep. Dan Goldman, has launched a spirited campaign to represent Brooklyn’s 38th Council District. A Sunset Park native and pragmatic Democrat, Ye brings a deep personal connection to the district’s immigrant communities and a focus on public safety, quality schools, and responsive leadership. Speaking in English, Chinese, and with Spanish translation, she emphasized her commitment to uplifting working families. With over $24,000 raised in just one week, Ye’s campaign is gaining strong momentum.
Facing a tough primary, anti-Israel Councilmember Shahana Hanif is desperately scrubbing her website of radical positions—like defunding the police and abolishing prisons. After years of alienating Jewish constituents and ignoring public safety, she’s now rewriting history to survive a credible challenge from pragmatic Democrat Maya Kornberg.
Facing a serious primary challenge, Councilmember Shahana Hanif is frantically walking back her radical record—deleting anti-police posts, softening anti-Israel rhetoric, and privately apologizing for boosting “globalize the intifada.” Voters aren’t fooled. Her calculated pivot reveals a politician more concerned with survival than principle or the safety of her Jewish constituents.
