ROBERT JACKSON (District 31)

Chelsea, Clinton, the Garment District, Hamilton Heights, Harlem, Inwood, Midtown Manhattan, Morningside Heights, the Upper West Side, Washington Heights

(currently held by Marisol Alcantara)

Robert Jackson has never stopped fighting for our children. Raised by a single mother in Northern Manhattan with eight brothers and sisters, he didn’t have much, faced many obstacles and times were often tough. Through hard work, perseverance, and the help of public school teachers and good people in the community, he earned a scholarship to SUNY New Paltz and the opportunity to get ahead. That’s why he has fought so hard to knock down barriers and to give every child the same opportunity to succeed that he had.

He worked as a union organizer fighting for good jobs and respect for workers and was elected President of the Community School Board for District 6, covering Washington Heights, Inwood and West Harlem. Faced with a rigged system that underfunded these schools, Robert Jackson filed a landmark lawsuit against the state to fix the inequitable New York State school funding distribution formula that was cheating NYC schools and undermining our children’s future. He walked 150 miles to Albany to highlight the cause and won a court judgment that awarded $16 billion for NYC schools, some of which is still owed to the children of New York today. In 2001, Robert was elected to the City Council – and three times overwhelmingly re-elected by the voters of his upper Manhattan district. He was chosen by his colleagues to Chair the Education Committee and Co-Chair the Black, Latino and Asian Caucus. He sponsored the Small Business Survival Act, fought for increased legal protections and city services for immigrants, and continued his lifetime work to fund our schools, defend our tenants, and promote equality, fairness and justice. 

Now Robert Jackson is running for State Senate to defeat the GOP-aligned IDC incumbent and build a real Democratic State Senate majority that finally fully funds our public schools, reforms our loophole ridden rent laws, passes the Reproductive Health Act, achieves single payer health care, and passes badly needed Albany ethics reforms, election reforms and real criminal justice reforms. Robert Jackson will fight to make New York the progressive beacon it should and must be.

Robert met his wife Faika at SUNY New Paltz and they have been married and living in the same building in Washington Heights for more than 40 years. They raised three daughters, and now have two grandchildren and will continue working to leave the world a better place for all of them.

JOHN LIU (District 11)

Whitestone, Bayside, College Point, Flushing

(currently held by Tony Avella)

John C. Liu is the former Comptroller of the City of New York (2010-2013) and a former member of the New York City Council (2002-2009). In 2013, John was a candidate for Mayor of New York City, in lieu of running for re-election as Comptroller. Currently, John teaches municipal finance and public policy in Masters programs at the City University of New York (CUNY) and Columbia University.

The 43rd Comptroller of New York City, John Liu established an impressive record as the chief financial officer for 8.4 million residents and overseeing municipal government with an annual budget of $70 billion. John saved taxpayers $5 billion through rigorous audits of City agencies, detailed scrutiny of contracts with private companies, and refinancing of $20 billion of outstanding City bond debt. During his four-year term of office, he achieved an enviable total investment return, increasing the City’s pension asset portfolio to $150 billion. John created the nationally acclaimed online application “CheckbookNYC.com” providing unprecedented transparency in government spending. He facilitated economic development and new job creation with acceleration of City capital projects, capturing low interest rates in the bond markets.

Always emphasizing that “it’s not just about numbers, it’s about people,” John Liu championed fairness and equality. An early and staunch opponent of stop-and-frisk tactics, John highlighted the risks to communities and taxpayers alike due to damaged police-community relations. John presented daily-updated M/WBE Report Cards for City agencies to monitor and encourage greater government contracting opportunities for minority entrepreneurs. John also proposed sound economic policies to create real economic growth and narrow the ever-widening wealth gap, protected wage standards and recouped back wages and fines on behalf of cheated workers from contractors who just don’t want to play by the rules, and exposed the billions of dollars in publicly-subsidized corporate welfare doled out by the City that failed to deliver on promised new jobs and fair housing. He published numerous reports analyzing and issuing recommendations on a wide range of public priorities, including education and the need to take students beyond high school, affordable housing and family support, retirement security and protection of pension benefits, and the fiscal and social benefits of legalizing marijuana.

As a member of the New York City Council, John Liu represented his hometown of Flushing and northeast Queens. He secured millions of dollars in additional funding for schools, libraries, parks, senior citizen centers, and youth programs. John served as chairperson of the Council’s Transportation Committee overseeing operations of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Department of Transportation, and Taxi and Limousine Commission, and enacted legislation boosting efficiency and efficacy of key City agencies. John also served on the committees on Education, Consumer Affairs, Contracts, Oversight & Investigation, Land Use, Lower Manhattan Redevelopment and Health.

ZELLNOR MYRIE (District 20)

Brownsville, Crown Heights, East Flatbush, Gowanus, Park Slope, Prospect Heights, Prospect Lefferts Gardens, South Slope, Sunset Park

(currently held by Jesse Hamilton)

Zellnor Myrie is a Brooklyn native, lawyer, and longtime affordable housing advocate. Zellnor is a graduate of Brooklyn Technical High School, earned his B.A. in Communications and M.A. in Urban Studies from Fordham University. After Fordham, Zellnor worked as Legislative Director for City Councilman Fernando Cabrera where, among other bills, he helped draft and pass the Tenant Bill of Rights.

After leaving the City Council, Zellnor became chair of his Neighborhood Advisory Board where, through community organizing, he helped secure nearly $400,000 in federal funding for job training, after school programming, and tenant protection. Zellnor then went to Cornell Law School where he served as student body president, an editor on the Cornell Journal of Law and Public Policy, a constitutional law instructor in prison, and as a Pro Bono Scholar — a position that allowed him to take the New York Bar early and spend his last semester working full-time at Justice 360, a criminal justice reform organization.

As an associate at a private Manhattan law firm, Zellnor remained committed to public service. Zellnor provided over 600 hours of pro bono service to immigrants seeking asylum, victims of police brutality and illegal stop-and-frisks, special education students not receiving services from the Department of Education, and victims of domestic violence. Zellnor also remained committed to his community as a member of the Neighborhood Advisory Board, junior board for the Legal Aid Society, and president of his building’s tenant’s association.

Zellnor is committed to giving back to the Brooklyn community that raised him and is passionate about securing affordable housing for families like his own, strengthening our public education system, immigrant rights, and criminal justice reform.

Blake Morris (District 17)

Midwood, Flatbush, Borough Park, Kensington, Sunset Park, Madison and Bensonhurst

(currently held by Simcha Felder who caususes with the Republicans)

Blake Morris has lived in the Ditmas Park neighborhood of Brooklyn for nearly 20 years, and he is running to represent his community in the NYS Senate (SD-17). Blake is married with a teen daughter who attends Brooklyn Tech. He has been a practicing attorney for almost 30 years.

Blake’s family has 19th century immigrant beginnings in Brooklyn, and he is proud to say that well over a century later, his family still calls Brooklyn home. And since Brooklyn has nurtured his family for so long, Blake feels a responsibility to ensure the vitality and prosperity of the borough for future generations. For Blake, this campaign is about respecting the communities that comprise the 17th Senate District. 

On Thursday, September 13, we are going to show everyone what this district’s voters really want. Blake made the decision to run for state Senate because he knows District 17 needs an elected representative who will actually represent all the people in the district, not just himself. When we vote for a Democrat to represent us, we want a real Democrat, not a Republican with a D next to his name.

Blake is excited to work to improve the lives of New York families so we can all have affordable housing, healthcare and hope.  The kind of hope that provides for individual dignity and respect. We have a diverse and multi-cultural  state Senate district and Blake will represent all of us in Albany. Come and be a part of #TeamBlake. It’s about time.
