Harlem and East Harlem have the chance to choose who is going to represent them in Albany and here (locally) – right now.  Early voting is currently underway and ongoing until Sunday, June 26th.  Primary election day is Tuesday, June 28th.

Your voice counts and choices matter.  Over the last 6 months, we’ve had a number of candidates drop by our monthly meetings to advocate for votes.  The Harlem Neighborhood Block Association appreciates every one of these neighbors who has taken the time to make the case for their chance to represent our great community – whether it’s in Central Harlem or East Harlem.

Of all the candidates, however, we want to highlight the extraordinary persistent and thoughtful engagement shown by Wilfredo Lopez, a Democrat running in the June 28th Primary to represent East Harlem, El Barrio, and Yorkville in the New York’s State Assembly.  Wilfredo has been with HNBA throughout 2022, attending numerous meetings – answering our questions – and showing the responsiveness that we expect in our elected officials.  This evident tenacity and focus on service have led us to recommend that you consider voting for Wilfredo Lopez.

Zora, The Queen
