As our next Borough President, Julie will work for all of the diverse communities that make up the great borough of Manhattan. She will make sure we all have a role in planning for and benefitting from Manhattans growth and stand with us to defend valued principles: Every New Yorker should be secure and free from discrimination regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual preference or gender identity or expression. Every New Yorker should have access to affordable housing and schools, great parks and playgrounds in their own neighborhood. Every New Yorker should have a voice in decisions that affect their community. And as we build and rebuild we must create good jobs for people from every community in every part of the borough.
Making sure our growth benefits all of our communities will require leadership, common sense solutions and the ability to bring people together. Julie has showed these qualities throughout her career in public service. Her goaloriented approach is reflected in a paper she published recently proposing reforms to the land use review process (found on JulieMenin.com), by ensuring that any new development project will include the requisite number of school seats, affordable housing, healthcare facilities, open space, transportation infrastructure and other needs. Manhattan needs Julie Menins leadership and determination to make sure that all of our diverse communities thrive together free from discrimination, that our kids have great schools to attend, our seniors receive needed services, our homes stay affordable and our economy works for everyone. We urge you to support Julie Menin for Borough President in the club endorsement vote on Wednesday, May 29th!
