District 35 City Council Race: What Issues Matter To You?

CROWN HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — Members of the City Council wield enormous power over what happens in New York City, and Patch wants to hear from residents in District 35 about what issues matter to them in this year's election.

For the first time since 2013, Brooklyn's 35th District will have someone other than Laurie Cumbo representing them in City Council.

So far, 11 candidates have put their hat in the ring to replace the term-limited council member, who currently serves as the City Council majority leader. Brooklyn's 35th District extends over Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Prospect Heights and parts of Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights.

Ahead of the June 22 primary election, we're asking readers to weigh in about what issues matter to them in the neighborhood. What problems are going unaddressed? What good programs should be built upon?

Fill out the survey below, and we'll ask the candidates to respond to the issues you raise:
