Khari Edwards, a lifelong Brooklynite with 25 years of experience in healthcare and nonprofits, is campaigning for Brooklyn Borough President. His leadership approach emphasizes community engagement, aiming for residents to know him and his office. He advocates for outreach across all neighborhoods, plans to enhance job opportunities for youth to combat gun violence, and desires to revitalize Brooklyn's arts, culture, and environmental initiatives. His past experiences demonstrate a commitment to personal connection with community members, highlighting a desire for accessibility and change in Borough Hall.
My track record as a community person shows that. When I went to [Brookdale University] Hospital, I had 4,100 employees. When I left service there, I knew 1,800 by name because when people see you and shake your hand, that means something.
If elected, Edwards said he plans to establish constituent hours in community board offices and at Borough Hall, aimed at ensuring better accessibility and transparency to residents.
