The upcoming primary election on June 24 for New York City's District 1 Council seat sees incumbent Christopher Marte facing three challengers, all from Community Board 1. Representing a diverse area that includes Greenwich Village and Lower Manhattan, Marte emphasizes his commitment to affordable housing, tenant protections, and community development. He has successfully advocated for zoning reforms and community spaces, while also opposing luxury developments. With a solid electoral history, Marte's campaign focuses on continuing to protect residents against displacement and ensuring affordable housing remains a priority in the district.
Affordable housing is the biggest issue facing Lower Manhattan, but instead of giving in to luxury developers and rampant displacement, we've stood up to billionaire real estate tycoons from Tribeca to the Seaport to Two Bridges.
I have spent my time in office helping thousands of tenants fight off illegal evictions and landlord harassment, emphasizing the importance of protecting low-income residents.
