The June 24 Democratic primary for Manhattan's District 2 will feature five candidates, including incumbent Assembly Member Harvey Epstein, aiming to succeed Council Member Carlina Rivera. Epstein, who has served since 2018, emphasizes bold local leadership to address urgent community issues. His tenure focuses on tenant protections, criminal justice reform, and LGBTQIA rights, illustrating his commitment to progressive change. Other candidates include the chair of Manhattan Community Board 3 and a former politician seeking to revive their career, setting the stage for a competitive primary against registered Republican Jason Murillo.
I'm running for City Council because our community needs bold leadership and a future-focused vision.
During my time in Albany, we made tangible progress on protecting tenants, reforming our criminal justice system, and championing LGBT+ rights.
