This Monday, July 11, at 5:30pm, NKD and other Brooklyn clubs are hosting a Candidate Forum for the new 10th Congressional District (Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, Sunset Park, Red Hook, and Lower Manhattan). 10 candidates so far have confirmed they'll attend — we hope you will too!

NKD's monthly General Meeting will be next Thursday, July 14 at 7pm. All are welcome! This will be a hybrid meeting, so you can choose to join us either in-person or on Zoom:

• First Unitarian Chapel (121 Pierrepont Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201). Use the side entrance, to the right of the main doors. Face mask and proof of vaccination required.
• OR, register here to join us on Zoom

Tuesday was a massive victory for everyday Brooklyn Democrats, who voted resoundingly to elect district leaders ready to stand up against the party machine.

Thirteen NKD-endorsed candidates won district leader seats, based on preliminary election results. This is a significant step toward a local Democratic party that respects, empowers, and includes all Brooklynites. 

This cycle, NKD endorsed 18 District Leader candidates – ten of them running for office for the first time. All candidates ran for unpaid district leader positions as part of the Brooklyn Can’t Wait slate, and pledged to increase participation and transparency in our local party. They ran against candidates backed by the party establishment, including a State Senator and many long-term incumbents.

This election could reshape Brooklyn politics — vote early through Sunday 6/26, or on election day Tuesday 6/28!

Before you vote, check your poll site location and see who's on your ballot, then check NKD's Voter Guide for info about the candidates.
