DFNYC recently held an endorsement vote in the Democratic primary races for US Congress in District 10 (Brooklyn) and NY State Assembly in District 64 (lower Manhattan), Democracy for NYC members voted to endorse:

• Kevin Powell, running against incumbent Congressman Ed Towns in District 10:  72%.
• Luke Henry, running against incumbent State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, and Paul Newell in District 64:  67%.

DFNYC also held an endorsement vote in the State Senate race in District 25, but neither Senator Martin Connor nor Daniel Squadron achieved the 60% necessary for the DFNYC endorsement.

We are proud to announce our support of Kevin Powell and Luke Henry and we look forward to working with them to win their respective primaries this fall.  Please visit the following websites to learn more about the candidates, and contact their campaigns if you would like to help with petitioning or other volunteer activities.
